The Futey Family wishes to extend our sincere sympathies to the Murga Family for the loss of a great man, Mr. John Murga. Our Dad, Andrew Futey, shared many good times, memories and laughter talking with his wonderful friend and neighbor while sitting on Murga's front porch. How comforting to know they will again be neighbors at the Brig. Gen. William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery. And, we are sure they will both be happy to see each other again in Heaven.
