| Obituaries | West Seattle news

From Corina at Admiral Bird:

On April 30th, we lost a member of our Admiral Family, James Murphy.

On Sunday, May 21st, at 4:00 pm, we are going to meet at the Admiral Bird on the corner of California and Admiral where we will have a slideshow, food, and drinks. Here is where people will be able to share their words and hearts.

At 5:00ish, we will begin the procession from Admiral Bird to Hamilton Viewpoint Park. This way we walk the streets he walked, past his home at “the James,” and end with a view of our beautiful city. There will be live marching music and everyone is encouraged to wear bright colors, dance, and fill the walk with love and revelry.

As the date gets closer, you can check for updates here.

Cool guy, James. You’ll be missed.

Sad news. He was definitely a plus to see around in the neighborhood, I always enjoyed exchanging greetings and he was often/always? first to say hello. He will be missed, but that’s a great idea for May 21!

That’s really sad. I lived in Admiral for about 10 years until last September. I exchanged greetings with him a few times a week on the street or over coffee. We just knew each other by name. I really enjoyed seeing his and other familiar faces while living there. He’ll be missed!

Truly sad news… Knew James really well as a customer, a great guy who always cheered up our mornings when his bright smile walked in the door. One of our favorites, RIP “J”
