REVEREND GLENN E. MURPHY Late June 1, 2001 Glenn Murphy passed away at the Riverview Health Centre. Glenn was born into the home of George and Grace Murphy of Spyhill, SK on November 3, 1926. He grew up in the Eriksdale area where his family farmed. He married Laura (Unger) in 1954. God blessed their marriage with four children and seven grandsons: Stephen (Linda), Joel and Thomas of Winnipeg; Marie (Ron) Rogge, Joshua, Josiah, Jeremy of Germany; Dale (Diane), Sam and Matt of Winnipeg; Dean (Leah) of Alberta. He is lovingly remembered by his siblings: Barbara Burke of Penticton, BC, Margaret Parkes of Eriksdale, Lawrence (Anita) of St. Anne, George of Eriksdale, Audrey of Winnipeg. He is also remembered by many nieces and nephews. Glenn graduated from Northwest Bible College in Edmonton, AB in 1959. In 1962, he received his ordination from the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. Glenn and Laura pastored in Fairview and Eureka River in the Peace River area of northern Alberta, and in Provost and Metiskow in southeastern Alberta. Later they resumed pastoring in Gladstone, MB. Glenn blessed and encouraged those around him with his love and compassion. People were inspired by his music and singing. Glenn will be sadly missed. Our consolation and trust is in the sovereignty, mercy and love of our God. Rest now, dear one, rest... You have finished the race. No more pain and suffering to cloud your face. You are home, safely home. (by l.e.m.)
