Local leaders sent condolences for Dumfries Councilman William Murphy, who was found dead in his home on Friday, Feb. 3, 2017.
From Dumfries Councilman Derrick Wood:
“It is with a tremendously heavy heart that I received the sad news of the passing of Councilman William Murphy on Friday February 3, 2017. I still cannot believed that he died so unexpectedly.
Councilman Murphy was a man who truly cared about the people in the Town of Dumfries. He has been a great asset to the Town and his presence will be missed on the dais and throughout this community.
My family and I offer our sincere prayers of comfort and sympathies to his family, friends and co-workers.”
From Prince William County Potomac District Supervisor Maureen Caddigan:
“I received an email on Sunday morning about the passing of Councilman Murphy and I am still in disbelief. He called me the day before his passing, as a citizen with concerns about the coal ash on Possum Point. I told him of the meeting on February 16th at Potomac High School and looked forward to seeing him there.
He was a member of my church and dedicated to the Town of Dumfries. He will be missed by many.”
