Timothy L. Murphy
July 27, 2012
Tim Murphy, 65, found peace at home on Friday, July 27, 2012. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, July 31, 2012, from 5 to 7 p.m., at Hamilton’s on Westown Parkway, 3601 Westown Parkway in West Des Moines. A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, August 1, 2012, at 10 a.m., at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Des Moines.
Tim, son of Helen “Billie” and John D. Murphy, was born on June 7, 1947, in Des Moines. He graduated from East High School in 1965 and was a devoted “eastside pride” resident. Tim even met his wife Cindee on the loop in downtown Des Moines. After graduation, Tim joined the US Army and served in the Viet Nam war. He retired in 2004 from Super Valu as a Warehouseman. Tim had a good sense of humor and never knew a stranger. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, and was a member of Teamsters Local 147, the VFW and VVA.
His memory will be cherished by his wife of 46 years, Cindee; son, John (Patty); daughter, Jennifer “Tootie”; grandchildren, Courtenay Murphy, Abby, Lee and Matthew; sister, Linda (Dick) Blaze; nieces, Kim (Jim Bresley) Harding-Bresley and Michelle (Tim) Harrison; his granddog, Bella; and many other family members and friends.

Mere words aren't enough
at times like this,
for a fun loving guy that we're all gonna miss.
He was one funny guy, with the stories he'd tell,
I'm glad that I met him,
and knew him so well.

Cindy & Kids, there are soooo many people that have you in their thoughts right now, and Linda and I are 2 of them ... Keep your heads up, your hearts open, and the memories vivid
