Dad was so strong and fought to the bitter end to stay with us, but there were just too many things combined to fight, and we had to let him go.

Leaving to mourn his loss, his loving wife of 63 years, Carrie; his two daughters Joanne and Shona; five grandchildren, Chantal (Brian), Ryan (Amy), Kaitlyn (Charlie), Tara (Michael) and Jennifer (Rob); six great grandchildren; sister Ruby Baker; brother Herb (Bessie) Morgan; daughter-in-law Bev; sisters-in-law Dale Morgan and Pearl Morgan; special friend Dale Murphy; and special nephews Mike, Paul and Robert Hickey; as well as a large circle of nieces, nephews and friends.

Predeceased by son Roger and son-in-law Terry Rose; great granddaughter Aaliyah; parents Isaac and Elsie Morgan; brothers and sisters George, Harold, Gerry, Violet (Owen) and Joyce (Fergus).

Dad was humble and a hardworking man who took great pride in the fact that he did his best at whatever he set out to accomplish. After his retirement from ERCO Industries (Albright and Wilson), he attended Agricultural College in Nova Scotia and continued to work until he was 82 years of age. Dad was known as “Tony” to his friends. Anyone who knew Dad knew his passion for music. He loved jam sessions with his buddies or just chilling and listening to his favorite tunes. We learned growing up in our home that you didn’t need to have the same DNA to be family.

We are blessed to have special people in our lives who share our happy times and our sorrow.
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff on the 5th and 6th floors at Carbonear Hospital.

Passed peacefully away on October 22, 2024, at James Paton Memorial Regional Health Centre in Gander, Newfoundland, surrounded by his children: Anthony B. Murphy. He was 97 years old.
Born on August 9, 1927, on Crawley’s Island, Anthony was a loving father to Trudy (Clyde Brown), Sharleen (Gerard Butler), Anthony, Nicholas (Julie), Craig (Clare), Karen (Christian Menard), James, Scott (Kim) and John (Dahlia). He adored his 24 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren.
Predeceased by his loving wife of 72 years, Anita, his granddaughter Lindsay, parents, Thomas and Cecilia Murphy, brothers, Thomas, Anslem, Dennis, Alphonsus, Michael; sisters Catherine, Bridget, Doll and Monica. Survived by his sister Genevieve, (Genny).
Anthony was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who planted the seeds of his love into all he met. He will be remembered for his dedication to his family, his humor, and his kind, comforting approach to others. He loved to read, fish and build model schooners.
An active volunteer in in his community of Long Harbour, Newfoundland, he held a number of positions between 1969 – 1976 including vice-chairperson and chairperson of the Local Improvement District of Long Harbour and Mayor. During his time in office, he also served as a member of the School Board of Trustees for Placentia East district.
He was a third-degree ranking member of the Knights of Columbus and an active member of the church serving as a Minister of the Eucharist and member of the Parish Council for many years.
He spent his early years working away from Long Harbour to support his family. He was one of the first employees at ERCO when it broke ground in Long Harbour working there as a carpenter and foreman until he retired in 1985. In retirement he found a passion for building model Grand Bank schooners.
He loved being on the water fishing and could be seen on many a calm morning rowing his boat out to the “head of the island” to catch a few cod. He was a fine hand to split a fish but couldn’t filet one to save his life.
He was a bright light in our lives and will be dearly missed.
Special thanks to the staff at Oram’s Birchview Manor where he spent his final years, to the staff who provided care at James Paton Memorial Regional Health Centre, the staff and management at Steele Hotels for taking good care of our family in this difficult time as well as Father Dohey, Father Hearn and Father Camillus.
