I was so sad to hear of the passing of Mr. Murphy. As Sharon's (his daughters) best friend growing up I spent a LOT of time in their home. I was able to witness first hand the kind of father and husband Mr. Murphy was. He was always kind, quiet, unassuming and loving. Just a great man! I have great memories of him and his family. He was rare, and one of the best. I know you all are going to miss him greatly and I hope your memories will comfort you in the days to come.
Sharon, sending you a GREAT BIG HUG from me. I Love You!
