Tribute

Ron was a force of nature, admired by all who knew him. His fantastic sense of humor and infectious personality acted as a magnet. If you KNEW Ron Murphy, you loved him. Always on the move, Ron LOVED to create. From building his own homes to turning his entire property into a living work of art – Ron had an incredible work ethic and everything within his orbit, he built with his own two hands. Quite accomplished in a variety of industries, Ron spent the twilight of his professional career as a well-respected owner/Broker of a real Estate company with his wife Jan. Recreationally, Ron’s passion was playing on a traveling Senior Softball team for over 30 years - well into his 89th year of life! Ron loved life and loved people, and has infused these attributes into his Children, grandchildren, and great-grand-children, who will all do their best to honor him to carry on these traits. We love you and will miss you immensely Dad. Ron leaves behind his wife Jan of 70 years, the enduring memories of his daughter Cyndy, children Timothy, Cheryl, Michael, and Tammy - Grandchildren Daniel, Christopher, Shannon, Jennifer, and 12 wonderful great-grandchildren. Heartfelt thanks to Melissa at Snowline Hospice and their entire staff, who not only provided exemplary care, but enabled dad to live the final chapter of his life on his own terms, at his own home enjoying his property, and all that loved him.
