William Frederick Murphy, 59, passed away on December 18th
in the comfort of his own home in New Windsor after a long
battle with cancer. He was born to Trudie and Donald Murphy
on June 3, 1964 in Newburgh NY. He is the youngest of 3
boys. He married Kathleen Mcguinness in 1997 and had his
only child Kelly Murphy, whom he later separated from. He
was a 1982 graduate of NFA and worked at Pepsi in Newburgh
for many years of his young life. He then made the
transition to Arkel Motors for the remaining years, where he
found a loving and appreciative family to work for. William
later got into a relationship and lived with his long term
girlfriend, Laureen Fee. His main loves in life were his
daughter, the gym, watching and playing sports, Rottweilers,
going out to eat and drink with friends & loved ones,
and being anywhere in the sun. His smile, laugh, and
sarcastic quick witted personality were able to brighten
everyone's day.
