Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryRODGER ANTHONY MURPHY On November 4, 2017 Rodger Anthony Murphy went to be with his soulmate Joan. Dad was born on November 3, 1931 in Winnipeg. Dad grew up being involved in many sports excelling in football and hockey. In the 1950s he started with MTS and married Mom. They started a family and raised three children. In 1986 Dad retired from MTS. Dad was a member of the Telephone Pioneers and became an avid wood carver. Mom and Dad spent many summers at their cabin in Grand Beach with their numerous family and friends. Dad will always be remembered for his sense of humour and kind soul who never asked for help even till the end. Left to cherish his memory are his children Wayne (Wendy), Brian (Cheryl) and Susan (Oscar); also his grandchildren Justine, Devin, Breanne, Brittany, Jordan and Jessica. Rodger was predeceased by his wife Joan in 2012. Many thanks to all the staff at Riverview Personal Care Home. Special thanks to Ashley and Sheldon who kept an eye on "Pops". I will be forever grateful for your care and compassion. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Winnipeg Humane Society. In keeping with Dad's wishes there will only be a private service for immediate family.

I have many fond memories of your father when he lived at Concordia Village. He was a gentle, quiet and polite man. I remember after your Mother / Grandmother passed away, he was sitting in the lobby next to the CD player (and Christmas tree) that I was playing Christmas music on. His eyes were far away, and I knew he was thinking of Joan. I just watched him.... That will be my forever memory of your wonderful father in Suite 102!!
