Obituary of Michael M. Murphy

Michael Matthew Murphy Sr passed away peacefully in his Huntington Station home on November 13th, 2022 with his wife of forty one years, Rita O’Malley Murphy, by his side. Born to Arthur and Dorothy Murphy on December 21, 1957, he grew up in Hicksville along with siblings MJ, Arthur, and Robert.

A warm, friendly, and inclusive man who was as comfortable in front of an easel as at the ball field, we are grateful he kept his spirit to the end. As a lifelong Jet fan, he took great joy in their latest victory over the Bills. A beloved Brother, Uncle, “Mr Mike” to many, and friend to all, he is survived by his wife and son, Michael Jr, sisters and brothers through birth and marriages, nieces, nephews, grand nieces, grand nephews and small friends of many ages.   

Friends and family are invited to join for a Funeral Mass to be held at St. Hugh of Lincoln R.C. in Huntington Station on Saturday, November 19th at 9:30 a.m. and for a Celebration of Life following at The Shamrock in Halesite. We encourage everyone to remember the good times, and share those memories below. 

All ya can do is do what you must
You do what you must do and ya do it well
