So sorry to hear of Steve's passing. He was so good to my family when my mother died in 1998, working with us by phone in Texas, until we could travel back to Ontario. God bless his family at this sad time.

It has been 56 years since we (Bill and Helen Ruoff and Children) moved to East Main St. in Ontario and came to know the Murphy family; through these many years we have shared the sad and happy times with Steve. What a pleasure and blessing it has been, and my good fortune to know this gentle man and the impact he made in this greater community. Good people, Steve exemplified that, come and leave their mark, and we are the better for it. May God embrace and hold in gentle arms this caring person; we are in his debt. Bill Ruoff

Dear Mary Lou,
I´m so sad to hear that Steve passed away. November 19th, 2015, you took me to Ft. Myers Airport, before that, Steve picked up my motorcycle at Ft. Myers Beach. I was looking forward to meet you again in Everglades City, maybe this year, and see Steve enjoying to ride the BMW he bought from me. It was a pleasure for me to know you, all my thoughts are with you now.
My best wishes from Germany to you and the whole family.

Mary Lou,

Our hearts and prayers are with you. Steve and you were always such a loving part of our church. Just being with the two of you was a blessing. One of the gifts you both shared was your encouragement to each of us. Bringing smiles and happiness whenever you were with us. You have left a permanent part of yourselves with us. We know Steve is reaping his reward for his unwaving faith which he showed by the life he lived, along with you Mar Lou, who we hold in our heart always
