Murphy, Richard "Dick" 60, of Columbia Heights lost his long, and brave battle with cancer on June 24, 2020. Dick's stubborn nature, and love for his family had him fighting until the very end. He is preceded in death by his parents Elaine and Richard Murphy Sr., brother Tom, and his daughter Sara. Dick is survived by his wife Susan (Boyce) Murphy, daughters, Elizabeth (Bug), and Anthea (Ants), his loving siblings, many nieces and nephews, and dedicated friends. Dick worked as an HVAC engineer in downtown Minneapolis for the past 39 years. He enjoyed fishing, cribbage, the MN Twins, home projects, and corny Hallmark movies. A private service will be held with close friends and family. The family asks in lieu of memorials or flowers to please eat a pint of ice cream in Dick's honor.
