John "Murph" Murphy
February 11, 1929 – May 27, 2016

Peacefully and swiftly, John Frederick Murphy passed away on May 27, 2016. They call him Murph, Strong John, Fat Fred, Poppa, Dad, Husband, Middle Brother, Uncle John, Right Wing, Salesman, Captain, Bridge Partner, Fellow Golfer and Good Friend. All who knew his kind and Strong Soul will miss him and yet in some way he is still with us.

It was only a week before he died that he entered the Toronto Western hospital with pneumonia. Unbeknownst to him and all, the underlying cause was cancer leading to respiratory complications.

Cherished second husband to the late Jane (Roberts) Grimm. Survived by her sons Charles and Lawrence and in memory to her daughter the late Jeanette Grimm. Survived by his first wife, Connie Conacher. Caring father to the late Geoffrey Murphy and survived by his daughter Caroline Conacher Murphy. Wonderful grandfather to the late Connor Murphy Woods.

My deceased husband, Brem Green ( July 4, 2012), and John had MANY games of golf and/or bridge together. John was always a special person to us,. He will be most sincerely missed by many. Please accept my deep condolences at this sad time.

I have many memories of the fun-loving, boisterous Murph over the course of many summers at Cedar Point. His hijinks, his mischievous spirit -- and his ability to score at horseshoes with a beer in hand -- enlivened the beach and made all of us laugh. I really liked him. My sincere condolences to all of his family.

Uncle John, we are going to miss you and your humor. You were always a bright light, always had a joke to share with your nephews. We didn't get to spend as much time with you as we would have wanted to but I know you kept in touch with your big brother. We are going to miss you. Todd
