Francis Xavier Murphy, 56, of Greenwich and Noank, CT passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Tuesday, June 2, 2020 at Greenwich Hospital due to complications from ALS.
Born on April 8, 1964 in Mount Vernon, NY, he was the son of the late John P. and Amy (McKay) Murphy. Frank attended Stepinac High School, was a 1991 graduate of Iona College, and received an MBA from The S.C. Johnson College of Business at Cornell University. He enjoyed a career in finance for many years, predominantly at A.G. Edwards.
He was an avid sailor, and enjoyed fishing, flight training, and many other outdoor activities, but his favorite moments were those spent with his children. He taught them how to sail, took them crabbing and fishing in Noank, and passed his love of the ocean on to them. His love of music, which he also shared with his children, led him to attend concerts across many genres with friends and family. He especially looked forward to the annual Greenwich Town Party every year.
He is survived by his children, Dennis, Gavin, and Annie Murphy, their mother Melissa Liebre, and his dear friend Emily Glodek, both of whose friendship and support have been invaluable. Frank is also survived by his four brothers, John (Betsy) of Eastchester NY, Brian (Laura) of Bronxville NY, Paul (Marilyn) of Manhasset NY, and Jim of Brooksville FL; eight nieces and nephews; and numerous cousins and close friends. He was predeceased by his parents and his sister Eileen.
The Murphy family would like to thank the staff at Greenwich Hospital for the care and comfort they provided to Frank and the family during his final days.
The family will receive friends on Sunday, June 7, 2020 from 2-5 pm at Leo P. Gallagher & Sons Funeral Home, 31 Arch Street, Greenwich. Services and burial will be private.
