He will be remembered for his warm heart, witty sense of humor, and his love of country music. A hard, blue-collar worker, Fred enjoyed being outside and getting his hands dirty, and had a passion for construction and farm machinery, tractor-trailers, and trains. He also enjoyed afternoon coffee at Dunkin’ Donuts with his dear friends and stopping by Sue’s Little Pizza Shop for a slice.
A private service will be held to celebrate his life with family and invited guests. To light a candle, leave a condolence, or to upload a photo please visit www.murphyfuneralservices.com.
