Hob Murphy

Dear Autumn, I’m sure you know how very sorry I am for your loss. Hob touched my heart deeply many years ago and I am grateful that we were all able to continue our friendship for so many years. I regret that I did not act on my instincts and travel to Edmonton this October, as I had planned, in hopes that I could visit with both you and Hob. But, I didn’t follow my heart and alas, did not have an opportunity to see an old friend….

I suppose the Great Spirit knows best and needed a good man like Hob sooner rather than later. Hob and Dave are free to soar the cosmos on the saddle of their Harleys and although we may not see them, I know that like me and Dave, you will feel Hob’s presence in many ways over the days, weeks, and years to come.

I know that you have many friends and family who will gather around you at this time and provide a multitude of love and support but should you ever feel the urge to call, please do.

With love and condolences,

Kate

Autumn,
There are really no wors to express the sorrow the loss and the grief. Taken from this earth far too soon. To me Hob was a mentor someone who proved with the right mind set we can make anything happen. In times when I longed for family you were both there for me. I am blessed to have known him and cherish the memories.
My deepest sympathy

To my dearest school-age friend:

Autumn, you are often on my mind! I am so sorry to hear that Hob has passed away; I remember your wedding like it was yesterday. Nobody could have loved him more than you! How lucky you are to have had this time with him! I will see you on Saturday (Clover and I are driving up from Calgary). Stay strong my friend!

In the summer of 1997, at the simple request from my brother-in-law, Mr. Murphy provided my daughter Trieva, her ‘grand entrance’ to her high school grad by driving her to the door (literally) of the Shaw Convention Centre on a shiny new Harley. An everlasting memory! A true gentleman!

THE BROKEN CHAIN
We little knew that morning, that God
Was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same,
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You’ve left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us back one by one,
The chain will link again

The world is a better place because of Hob. There are so many memories of this kind, funny, generous man. I feel so fortunate to have spent time with him in AZ . My heart breaks each time I think of you in this time Autumn. Just know…. This is NOT the end. He is waiting for you in heaven peacefully. I love you and will always be here when you need me.
April
