Dear Tommy and Catherine so so sorry to learn of your loss. In sympathy...Jo Langston
I'm saddened to learn the loss of Joseph Lee Murchison. His picture brings life to how he appeared to live his.;lived his life he did. Many go a lifetime without truly living life to it's full potential.
I do understand what it feels like to lose a loved one in an instant , and the worst feeling is not being able to say goodbye or give that one last hug.
My prayers are with you as you mend through the years of memories and tears.
May God gift you with many great memories of shared happiness.
Unfortunately I just learned of Lee's passing so I wasn't able to attend the funeral. I haven't seen or talked to Lee in sometime but we went way back. He was so charming and could always make me laugh. A great soul that will be dearly missed. Rest In Peace

I am so very sorry to hear of Lee's death. Praying for his family and all of his friends. Gone to soon just like my sister.
Lee and I were friends for over 40 years. It started in Little League and then on into high school. He was always one of the funniest people I knew with his little cuts and pranks. He always had a great way of looking innocent but would give a little smirk to give it away that he was the culprit. Sadly, I lost touch with Lee after high school. I am glad to know, though, that despite this sudden and tragic passing, he is now in a much better place.
