We are sad to announce that our beloved friend and colleague Joe Murphy left us today to his on going battle with leiomyosarcoma carcinoma. We loved him very much and will be greatly missed in our lives. We bid farewell to a dear and sweet man.

Tell everyone you know. Joe Murphy Memorial Fund Thank you to Leann’s mini-geek army for helping her put this together: P.G. Holyfield Chris Miller Donna Mugavero A quick note to the wonderful folks who have put links to the “Joe fund” on various websites. First, thanks very much for doing this. We cannot thank you enough. Second, and most important, I need you to change that link immediately. As you may know, Leann has set up a different fund, with [...] During the Sunday visit, Mike got a call from Leann regarding getting Penn and Teller to make a visit. She was able to get Teller Joe’s cell phone number and Mike got word that Teller gave Joe a call. They talked for several minutes. Joe had a spark of excitement for the first time [...] Joe has been moved into hospice care and he will not be with us for much longer. That’s about as straightfoward as I can make a very painful and fucked up situation. Joe has appreciated all the love and generosity that everyone has given him during all of this. If you want to help [...] Sorry, I should have posted an update a while ago. For those who haven’t heard, Kuato has officially kicked my ass. The doctors couldn’t remove the tumor, as there was not one, but six of them, and they were all in love with some major organs of mine. They took enough to verify that [...] It’s noon here on Tuesday, and Joe has finally been moved (or is in the process of moving) into his own room. He’s out of ICU and we’re looking at a late-this-week total release for him. And a note for all you intrepid well-wishers out there: please don’t break out your Sherlock Holmes outfit [...] I got a chance to see Joe briefly on Sunday. And by “I”, I’m of course referring to me, Sheila, NJ, Mike, Lorrie, Kris of cheesecake fame and James, yet another random extended family member of Mike’s who was staying at his house. He was still in ICU with the hopes of moving to [...] 8:01 AM MST Joe’s dad, Bob, called me this morning. Joe came out of surgery around midnight and is currently recovering in ICU. Since they didn’t take anything more than a big chunk of Kuato out of him, he’ll probably only spend a few days in the hospital. Bob says the doctors should have [...] 10:15 PM MST Final update for tonight. Mike called me an hour ago, and I’ve been pondering what to write. So here goes. The prognosis is pretty shitty. The operation is over and the doctors have decided that Joe’s cancer is inoperable. Hey — now you have an “i” word to hate. It’s spread [...] |
