Mr. Murphy. As a kid, I remember him laughing and how I thought it remarkable it seemed his eyes were laughing as well. I remember looking for him at Boy Scout functions, making sure I knew where he was so he could "protect" me if the boys were getting too rowdy for me. And I remember him sending me a wink to let me know he knew where I was too. I remember him talking to me as if I were one of his grown up friends. I remember him welcoming me always - even after I took the mailbox down (amoungst other things). I remember doing foolish things right in front of him, yet he never called me foolish, and encouraged me to try it again with a few tweaks. I remember his lawnmower contraption. And I remember one piece of advice he gave to me very seriously: "Always stand sideways in a latrene when you pull your pants down. That way nothing in your pockets will go down the hole." May God's loving arms welcome you with the same love, compassion, security, and joy that you have shown to others. I am blessed God choose you to touch my life and lead by example. May God provide strength and comfort for all the loved ones in your life. And after the tears, may laughter prevail. And if we are lucky enough and try hard enough maybe we can make our eyes laugh too.

Frank Murphy was a wonderful man, who was kind and fair to all he knew. Wonderful husband and father. I will remember him as a hard working responsible truck driver and good friend.

Let There Be Memories for friends and family will have so many. There will always be memories; fond recollections of special occasions and everyday things. May you start your journey in comfort and in healing. Let there be memories, pictures, mementos, and favorite stories both funny and sad. Let your mind wander the paths of remembrance, reliving the joys and the good times that all have shared. Let there be memories; signs that our loved ones remain near in spirit. In your new journey you will remember; tender, surprising, heartwarming, and welcome and sweet proof of the promise that love will live on. In the hardest things we do; love sees us through but none of us can truly comprehends the loss that we feel, the sadness it brings ...And yet, warm thoughts are reaching out in hopes that friends and family will know the strength and comfort that this wishes you. Love and Prayers for the Family and the Geissler Famliy.
