DR. CLAUDE HOWARD MURPHY

Condolences & Memories (10 entries)

• My condolences to thr family of Dr. Murphy. Dr. Murphy was our family doctor for decades and mine for 20 years before I moved to Ontario. I never knew of all of his many accomplishments until now, but he was a very compassionate doctor and family man. He cared so much for his patients, he even made the occasional house call, back in the day. After being in hospital for over a month following a car accident, he came to our home to check on me. He was very reassuring to me. I'm sure he will be missed by all who knew him. - Posted by: Karyn Anderson (Former patient) on: Apr 28, 2020

• I met Dr. Claude Murphy some years ago when making a film about the Canadian Army Service Battalions. Dr. Murphy was a veteran of the Second World War and had a connection with the unit I was documenting. He very kindly welcomed me into his home where he recorded an important voice-over for my film. He was very interested in what I was doing, modest about his own considerable accomplishments and willing to do everything he could to help. He was a deeply spiritual gentleman who lived a life of service to others. "At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them (him)." - Posted by: Jon Ted Wynne (professional colleague) on: Apr 20, 2020
