Robert G. Murphy, Jr, “Murph”, of Walpole and Plymouth, formerly of Needham, age 58, died peacefully on July 2nd surrounded by our family. Owner of Murphy General Contracting of Foxboro for 35 years and local Needham builder.

Bob was a hard-working guy who believed in doing a job the right way and seeing it through to the finish line. He was always doing a project to better his family’s comfort or lending a hand to others. He was well known for his generosity and willingness to help.

THEN and only then would he relax. His favorite place to do this was at Sunset Lounge. He loved slow boat rides with our family, our dog Casey Mae and a Guinness. Or sitting on the patio enjoying a Guinness or two with family and friends. He was the salt of the earth and well loved by many.
