Danny,
You were always the big brother that looked after me. As a kid when I had nothing to do on a hot summer day you would take me along on one of your long truck drives out to the end of the island for a fish delivery from Ben's. I'll remember my visits to you at school up in Cobleskill & our Easter weekend trip we took down to Baltimore. Our time working together at Dal Tile, these are all the good memories and many more that I have of you and will always keep close to my heart. I am proud to say that you are my brother. I love you and miss you and my heart is broken that you are no longer with us.
I say this with tears in my eyes and a crushing weight on my soul...
I Love You,
Brother Greg

Danny-boy, I am so very proud to have you as my brother. I have many happy memories of growing up with you. As your younger sister, I was always in awe of how smart you were and your love for reading and learning... there was no topic that could stump you. One of my favorite memories is when you taught me how to play backgammon. You were so patient and really wanted me to understand and learn the "strategy" of the game. You taught me so well that eventually I was able to beat you! I am so very sad that I will never get to see you again on this earth and be able to tell you how much I loved you. I just pray that you knew how much you were loved not only by me but by our entire family. Your spirit will always be with me in my heart. You are going to be missed, Danny. All my love, your sister, Nora

To the first of my four little brothers, my heart is broken over this senseless loss of you. We have so many wonderful memories with you Danny and our lives will never be the same. You have a very special place in my daughters lives, always making each one of them feel special. Remembering you coming home from work at 1863 and fixing yourself a nice hot meal, and the little imp Erin would come and join you and help you eat your dinner. And all our bagel breakfasts here at my house and our end of vacation visits to you in PA. You and Bob getting your moneys worth at the Chinese
buffet and extra orders of calamari and the olive garden. You always shared
your meals, your talents your knowledge and your love with us in your own special way. I know God has prepared a beautiful place for you as you meet up with mommy and all our other loved ones. Please keep a place for each of us so we are sure to be together again. I love you Daniel hold your head high

To my dear brother Danny, I have so many fond memories of you when you were little. I just loved you so much with your curly hair and beautiful smile. I used to carry you around like you were my little baby doll. I remember how you used to play ball in the side yard and always be reading something. You were so smart. Then when we were all grown up and I had children you always wanted to know how was Nicki and Corker.You always made them feel special. They loved you so much as did Dino and I. We are all heartbroken and will never forget you. You will be in our hearts forever! Rest in Peace my dear brother Danny I love you and miss you with all my heart. I know you are with mommy, jack, and brian. We will meet again. Love You Always, Anne Marie

Where do I begin to talk about my only big brother. Growing up as your "Irish twin" made me so proud to be your younger brother. You were who I looked up to and aspired to be like. All through our childhood you were Murph and I was Little Murph. Eventhough I had tough footsteps to follow you always guided me in the right direction. Some of my favorite times with you were up in New Hampshire. The 3rd floor of the Edgewood Inn was our kingdom! It was like being college roommates. When we were in Calhoun even when it was not cool to be seen with your little brother you took me under your wing and showed me the ropes. I could not ask for a better role model than you growing up. I know we went our seperate ways as we got older, but you always knew when to get in touch with me. When I was down I could always count on your dry wit & sense of humor to raise my spirits. Last year when I had heart surgery, you called me every night to make sure I was ok. Under that gruff exterior was one of the most kind hearted and compassionate persons I have ever known. I will never know why God took you from us at such a young age. I went to church the day after you left this earth and the last sentence of the Gospel was " all are invited but only a few are chosen". Obviously God had a plan for you because you are one of the few! Danny you were a wonderful loving brother who always put yourself last and took care of everyone else first! I hope as St. Peter opens the pearly gates to Heaven for you, you find what you were looking for. Mom, Jack, Brian and the rest of the Murphy's & Meaneys are waiting for you. Go to them and be at peace. I love you and will miss you forever!!

DAN MY HEART IS BROKEN. ALL WHO GOT TO REALLY KNOW YOU KNEW YOU WERE SUCH A KIND HEARTED PERSON.THERE WAS NOT A MATERIALISTIC BONE IN YOUR BODY. YOUR GENEROUS GIVING WAY WAS SO EVIDENT IN THE WAY YOU ALWAYS PROVIDED FOR YOUR FAMILY. YOU WERE ALWAYS HARD AT WORK AND CARING FOR OTHERS. THIS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO GIVE YOURSELF THE CARE YOU YOURSELF DESERVED. I WANT TO THINK OF YOU NOW AT REST,AND PEACE WITH MOM, IN HER SAFE AND LOVING ARMS. WE HAD SUCH GOOD TIMES AS KIDS. I WAS SO PROUD OF YOU MY BIG BROTHER... SO SMART,ATHLETIC,HANDSOME,SUCH GREAT FRIENDS AT CALHOUN. YOU LIT UP AT THE MENTION OF YOUR GRANDSON AND I HOPE THE JOY YOU FOUND IN LITTLE DANIEL FILLED YOUR FINAL DAYS.I AM JUST SAD HE WILL NOT GET TO KNOW HIS LOVING GRANDPA.I AM HEARTBROKEN.I MISS YOU DAN THE MAN. YOUR LOVING SISTER EILEEN

Uncle Dan, I can't describe in words how much I will miss you. You were an awesome Uncle. I have such fond memories of family parties at Nanny and Pop's with all of us. I can picture you with those huge glasses, a flannel or solid color sorta work shirt on. With that huge smile and hearty Murphy laugh. I refer to it as the Murphy Muggsley laugh. LOL. When i was in junior high i started playing lacrosse and you came out to our house in the sticks, in other words called Suffolk. You tought me the fundamentals of the game and gave me one of your old sticks. I always looked at you as a courageous hard working man. Provided for your family and did what ever it took to get the job done. I admired that so much. My dad, (who i know you are hanging with right now) told me stories all the time about his brother in laws, my uncles and how much he loved you guys. Altohugh I didn't get to see you that much in last years, I always thought of you often. I always got excited when I knew you were going to be at a family function. I could keep writing all night long.....
We will cry, we will laugh but we will never lose sight of the man you were and the lasting impression you left in our hearts.
Till we meet again Uncle Danny, I Love you God Bless...

Uncle Dan where do I even begin to express how much I am going to miss you. I still cant believe you are gone. I keep hoping that I will wake up and this is all a bad dream. Ever since I was little you have always held a special place in my heart.I remember sleeping over your house when I was younger and you would always have breakfast ready for us the next morning and the best part about it was you always brought us home Nestle chocolate and strawberry milk from your deliveries. I loved that my parents made time to stop in PA to see you after our family vacations. You were an amazing uncle, father, son and grandfather. Please take care of nana, uncle jack, brian and the rest of the family there with you. I know you are watching over me right now and will continue to do so until we meet again. I love you so much uncle Dan and will miss you more than you will ever know.
love your (favorite) niece Brigette

Hey uncle Dan, I would love to start off by saying I love you and will miss you dearly. I love funny people and I like to think of myself as quite a funny one lol. Knowing I have learned from one of the best, lets just say you were the "Godfather" of funny amongnst all your bros(my uncles). I remember your delicious cooking and my favorite by far were your carrots, which my mom has tried to copy(not the same, but I haven't told her that lol) I know that you just chuckled at the carrot comment. I am sorry for what has happend to you I will never be okay with it, but know that you will always be in our hearts and I am so happy I spoke to you a few weeks ago about our little guys Daniel and Jack and I was able to tell you I love you. In that conversation I said to you that now you and Dino have your "boys" and you said to me yeah I love Daniel so much, but I wouldn't trade my girls for anything, and that's the Uncle Danny I know and cherish. I know if Gjon and I work half as hard as you did and love our Jack half as much as you loved your girls and Daniel, than Jack will have enough love for hundreds of life times. I love you and will miss you, and I know now being far away that no matter where you live or how little you may see eachother, that doesn't in the least take away any of the love I have for you or anyone in our family. XOXOXO Rest in peace and we will all see you there when our time comes till then give Nana, Uncle Jack, and Bri and all those we have loved and lost a big HEY HEY HEY FROM CORKER

Hey Danny, they say only the good die young, and it's so true. I will always remember your kindness and generosity mixed in with a little sarcasm and a whole lot of funny. I have only fond and happy memories of you. Like the time we went to PA and you let Conor sit in the cab of the truck you drove for work and let him use the loud truck horn!! The trip we took to Hershey Park one year with several of your sisters, nieces and nephews, your girls and even my parents was a memorable one that I have. You wanted nothing to do with Hershey Park, but you couldn't wait until we got to the Country Buffet!! I know little Daniel brought you so much joy the last two years and another grandson would be double the joy.
Don't stand at my grave and weep, I am not there...I do not sleep. I am the thousand winds that blow...I am the diamond glints on snow...I am the sunlight on ripened grain...I am the gentle Autumn rain. When you waken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of gentle birds in circling flight...I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry-I am not there...I did not die.
