We are sad to announce that our beloved friend and colleague Joe Murphy left us today to his on going battle with leiomyosarcoma carcinoma. We loved him very much and he will be greatly missed in our lives. We bid farewell to a dear and sweet man.

Godspeed, Joe. We’ll miss you.
Rest in peace Joe.
God bless, Joe. You wil be missed.
Cancer is bullshit.
I’m lost for words…
The world will be a quieter, more boring place without you, my friend.
Thanks for many, MANY hours of audio fun - I can see Mike putting together a “Best of Randy” clip show as I type!
Final thought: the late, great English comedian Spike Milligan instructed his headstone to read “I told you I was ill!” - not exactly sure why that just popped back into my head… I hope no-one is offended by that.
(Maybe I wasn’t so lost for words after all…)
cheers Joe
Bye Joe. Thanks for making the last year or so of my daytime commute entertaining with your humor & insights. May your family and friends be comforted in this sad time.
You will be missed Joe.
RIP Joe
Sad news and a sad day, our thoughts are with you.
My condolences to all of Joe’s family and friends. Joe, you will be missed.
Rick
RIP.
I’m so sorry guys. I tried to find a card to send, but nothing seemed right.
Hugs to all of Joe’s friends and family.
Ah shit. I am truly sorry to hear this. I have chatted to Joe a few times, he always seemed a great genuine guy. The world is a little emptier now.
I hope you’ve found peace, Joe. Rest easy.
Rest in peace, Joe. You’ve made us all glad to have known you.
I find it somehow appropriate that he left us on April Fool’s Day. It comforts me to think that Joe’s sense of humor would have been tickled by that.
I never met Joe, but I feel a loss. My thoughts and prayers are with Joe’s family and his SOSF family.
Damn it. We need more guys like Joe in this world, not fewer.
Rest in peace Joe. You will be missed. My deepest sympathies to Joe’s family and friends.
RIP Joe
I always enjoyed Joe’s comments and thoughts on both the Kick-Ass Mystic Ninjas and Slice of Sci Fi.
My condolences to Joe’s family and friends.
Joe will be missed.
My condolences to Joe’s friends and family. I’m sorry I never had the chance to meet him, but I enjoyed what he shared with his listeners.
It won’t be the same without you Joe.
People you never met miss you.
What more can be said.
Well, this was pretty much sucky news for my day.
Goodbye Joe, Thanks for introducing me to a whole new world.
I will miss your humor alot.
Ad Astra Buddy
This is bull. I’m sorry. I’m really gonna miss him on the all the podcasts. I really ain’t got the words.
Damn. Damn. Damn.
I was so hoping he’d beat this thing. Joe was a good guy and will be sorely missed. My condolences to his family and friends.
Rest in peace, Joe. You will be sorely missed.
Dammit. Joe, we’ll miss you.
What a shock; I was very much hoping he’d pull through. Damn.
Lots of hugs and condolences to his family and friends.
It’s amazing how strongly I can feel the loss of someone I’ve never meet. Joe, may the root beer never lose its fizz, wherever you are. You will be missed.
Rest in peace friend. You are missed.
Sad News indeed!
There will, now and forever, be something missing from the shows Joe was in!
…and on April Fools Day….I think Joe is smiling at the irony. God bless and God speed, Joe. You are missed.
All I can say is thanks Joe for the good radio. You will be missed.
I’m surprised this writeup didn’t point to where Joe could be heard. I’ve never heard of him but might be interested in experiencing what it was you al grew so attached to.
Joe, you will be missed.
A LEGEND TO SOME…BUT A HEROE TO OTHERS !!!WILL MISS YOU IN MANY WAYS !
[...] is with sadness that I post here that Joe Murphy from countless podcasts including his regular appearances on Slice of Sci-Fi and the Kick Ass [...]
I was holding out hope that Joe would get that miracle turnaround…. Joe… you made me laugh my fool head off so many times. Tonight I am toasting you and playing some of my favorite moments. We’ll miss you man!
That is sad news. I wasn’t aware of Joe’s illness. Several years back, Joe was a talented and passionate member of our First Draft APA community. His fiction was among the best of the group. His experience and generous spirit helped set the tone for the community. He is fondly remembered here.
I also did not know about his podcasts, which I now look forward finding and downloading.
The Drunken College Circus scene has lost one of its best.
Rest in peace Joe, our condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed.
Joe can be heard on the following shows:
Those are the shows he was a regular on. You may need to check the show notes to see which episodes of Cover to Cover he did and did not participate in. I will need help from the FarPoint Media fans to track down what shows he made guest appearances on.
Our condolences….
I haven’t been listening for very long, but when I started, I remember hearing Joe’s snarky comments. He will be sorely missed.
First thing that popped into my head when I read the news was last weeks BSG. Joe sitting in that Viper waving to Lee (well, it would probably by Tricia Helfer…) and saying he found his idea of Sanctuary.
He’ll be missed, the world needs more geeks willing to geek like no one is watching them.
It would be sick, but shame it wasn’t some April Fool’s joke…
There is an unfillable hole in the podosphere today.
tihiyeh zichron baruch.
(May his memory be a blessing)
My deepest heartfelt condolences to Joe’s friends and family. I’ll miss your happy voice.
rest in peace joe you made the shows you were on even more special as you had the ability to make me cry with laughter and then feel sad for you all at the same time may you rest in peace and my condolences go out to the family be they direct or far point media.
joe is looking down on us and hopefully haunting evo a bit
we miss you joe !!!!!!
I really can’t believe this has happened. It came so fast.
I’m listening to the Tribute show right now and I can’t help but tear up just listening to it. Listening to a podcast every week you begin to feel almost like you guys are personal friends. Even though I’ve never met Joe, Evo, or Mike it still feel like I know you. Having Joe leave us this quickly is hard to deal with.
He was a good man. There’s really not much more to say. He was a good man.
Deeply saddened on the otherside of the world to hear of Joe’s passing. I will now never have the chance to meet him, but the wonderful thing was that we at least got to share him on the podosphere. Thanks for the insight and the laughs Joe. This kiwi chick will miss them all.
We’ll miss you Joe.
So sorry to hear about Joe. Wanted to let you know that leiomyosarcoma is not a carcinoma. It is a sarcoma. Please correct on your site.
My sincere condolences for Joe’s family and for the family that is Farpoint Media, both will be grieving in similar measure.
Joe handled the news of his illness in his “public face” with remarkable wit and spirit.
I am so sorry to hear about Joe. His insights will be missed…
JOE MURPHY RULES! SHINE ON U CRAZY DIAMOND. U WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. FARPOINT MEDIA HAS LOST ITS BEST CONTRIBUTOR . VERY SAD.
[...] murphy in loving memory Filed under: Uncategorized — recar @ 6:54 am joe murphy in loving memory The podcasting community just lost one of his warmest podcaster [celebrity] [entertainment] [...]
RIP Joe Murphy.
GODDAMMIT!!!!:-(
WHY THE FUCK DOES SHIT LIKE THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN?!?!?
oh well…no use in getting angry over it…
at least he’s got good company waiting for him in heaven…Douglas Adams,Issac Asimov,Scotty…he will b ok…
“Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince,
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!”
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
Don’t grumble, give a whistle
And this’ll help things turn out for the best…
And…always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the light side of life…
If life seems jolly rotten
There’s something you’ve forgotten
And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you’re feeling in the dumps
Don’t be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that’s the thing.
And…always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the light side of life…
For life is quite absurd
And death’s the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it’s your last chance anyhow.
So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life’s a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true.
You’ll see it’s all a show
Keep ‘em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the right side of life…
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the bright side of life…
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life…
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you’re going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life…
JOE MURPHY~ u shall be missed by many…
