Jeffry Brian Murphy, age 75. Retired Lieutenant CPD. Beloved husband of the late Donna Murphy (nee Harris). Loving father of Eamon Brian, Sean Michael, and Matthew Lee (Sarah) Murphy. Cherished grandfather of Molly Clare Murphy, Cara Bree Murphy, Cailin Quinn Murphy, Dylan Patrick Murphy, Brandon Lee Murphy. Beloved son of the late John Michael Murphy and Rosemary (nee Gormely) Murphy. Dear brother of Maureen (Walter) Gottesman, the late Sharon Nell Murphy. Patricia Joan (Neil) Resnick, Martha Murphy, and Mark (Nancy) Murphy. Fond uncle to many nieces and nephews. Retired Lt. Jeffry Brian Murphy passed away suddenly on Wednesday May 13th, and it appears he did not suffer at all. Jeffry was born 11-08-50 in Fargo North, Dakota. Jeff, his father and his grandfather were all the oldest boys in their families, and they were all born November 8. Jeff was an avid reader. Without bragging or blinking an eye, he told me he completed the Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich in 7th grade. Jeff had a tremendous 40-year career with the Chicago Police Department. Jeff actually started working for the CPD when he was a sophomore in high school at St. Ignatius. He earned many commendations and awards during his career. Jeff served as a Patrolman, Undercover Detective, Homicide Detective, Sergeant and eventually Lieutenant. During his career he contributed to various divisions within the Department including Policy And Procedure, Research And Development & Crisis Intervention Training (CIT). There was a time span where nearly every police cadet had some type of a course training from Jeff. But there could be no doubt that Jeff was most proud of his accomplishments regarding his contributions to Crisis Intervention programs. During the latter portion of his career, he was a national expert in Crisis Intervention and training. He went around the country teaching other departments how to institute this costly but very important training. His extended stay with CPD all those years was because he was adamant that everybody had to learn that even though Crisis Intervention programs were expensive to install, they would save municipalities and departments lives and money in the long run. Jeff enjoyed reading, sailing and golf. Visitation Wednesday 3:00-8:00 p.m. Funeral Thursday 9:30 a.m. from Donnellan Funeral Home 10525S.

Obituary of Lawrence E. Andres

Lawrence E. Andres, 74, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on May 12, 2026, in Arlington Heights. He was born on July 26, 1951, in Chicago to the late William Sr. and Genevieve (née Jacobs) Andres. Larry graduated with the Class of 1969 from Arlington High School and worked at Lauterburg Oehler Funeral Home from 1968 to 1970.

Larry’s lifelong love of movies began in childhood, when his grandfather took him to the Arlington Theater every weekend. In the fall of 1970, Larry met the love of his life, Debbie, while attending Harper College, where they both participated in theater productions, Larry on stage and Debbie working behind the scenes. Theater remained a shared passion throughout their lives.

Larry and Debbie were married on November 24, 1973. Larry began his career in public service in 1971 as a radio dispatcher for the Arlington Heights Fire Department. In 1975, he joined the Buffalo Grove Fire Department as a volunteer firefighter and earned his paramedic certification in 1977. Following certification, he became one of the first paramedics hired by the Chicago Fire Department. In July 1981, Larry joined the Buffalo Grove Fire Department full-time as a firefighter/paramedic. He was promoted to Lieutenant in 1989 and faithfully served his community until his retirement in July 2007.

Larry was preceded in death by his parents, William Sr. and Genevieve (née Jacobs) Andres; his brother, William “Bill” (Ginny) Andres Jr.; and his stepfather, Joseph Eisenkohl. He is survived by his beloved wife, Debra “Debbie” (nee Maybee) Andres; loving son, Dylan (Denise LaBrose) Andres; and his cherished granddaughter, Olive Andres. He is also survived by his dear sisters, Arlene “Cookie” (Dean) Stewart and Kathy (Scott) Stoeckel; with many loving nieces and nephews; and many cherished friends whose lives were touched by his kindness and warmth.

One of Larry’s greatest joys was witnessing the Chicago White Sox win the World Series Championship in 2005.
