My condolence to the family. I knew 1st sgt murphy when I was assigned to the 147th @ Barbers pt. I was the crew chief on the UH-1H huey. I was in a car accident on the way home and was separated from the Army. I was in contact with him in 2017 when he working at ft stewart Georgia. He was a great 1st sgt.

He cared for every one of his soldiers, and ruled with a "gloved" iron fist, but NOBODY messed with his troops without dealing with him.
