Joseph A. Murphy

Joe grew up in Marshfield, MA and attended Marshfield High School.

Affectionately known as "Big Joe" ( standing 6'6" tall) he excelled in strength sports. Joe boxed and played football for many years.

In 2012, he was a defensive lineman for NEFL's Cape Cod Seadogs ( #63) helping lead them to win their conference championship, for which he proudly earned a championship ring. He also earned several titles in boxing and in his prime, was a heavyweight " Golden Gloves Champion".

His greatest accomplishment and proudest achievement however, was his son Joey.

Spending time with Joey and watching him compete in his own strength sports was unquestionably his greatest joy!

Joe is survived by his son, Joey ( Sandwich, MA), his ex-wife, Heather Lewis- Murphy ( Sandwich, MA), his sisters, Julie Murphy ( Tiverton, RI) and Maryellen Murphy ( Portland, ME).

Memorial service will be held at a later date.
