Rest in Peace, Timothy Murphy
I am sorry to report -- our dear Tim passed away peacefully today.

Thank you for this hard news, Jennifer.
Heartbroken. |
RIP. From all I have heard, he was a good man. I am sorry I never got a chance to meet him.
|
Godspeed, Greatheart.
I remember my first exchange with Tim on these boards, suggesting a more occupationally specific saint than Saint Michael for the addressee of a hunting poem. Wasn't interested! |
My condolences to Tim's family... and his friends, which includes many of us here.

I am very sorry to hear what is, sadly, not unexpected. Thank you, Tim.

Thanks, Tim, for your encourangement, poems, and the time you drove me in your car to tell me a most inappropriate story involving you and Alan and a weekend before I was born. To quote a great poet:
"We are where we have always been And shall be through the ages; We pressed the flowers of our selves Between our gathered pages" |
I first met him when he came to England for his book launch at the turn of the century. I chauffeured him around, and think I got to know him well. He was a good friend to me, always helpful, always supportive, and I learned a lot from him. He leaves a legacy of fine poetry.

I’m so sorry to hear this, Jennifer. So hard for you, his friends, his family. I’m glad he went in peace. It makes such a difference.

He received the "grace of a happy death," didn't he? ... I envision him arguing amiably for eternity with Alan in that other dimension. I for one can't wait to read the Last Poems. Farewell, sir.
