Richard Murphy and I served together as apprentices ("printer's devils") at Madison Newspapers. Richard always showed great respect for others and he likewise was well liked and respected. Also, it's a delight knowing Rich's wife, Donna. She and I were classmates from 5th thru 12th grades at Madison's Franklin Grade and Central High Schools. ~Dean Anderson.

Donna and family-I have good memories of Rich. We met and worked at Madison Newspapers. Later we both had print shops. He was always a friend and a mentor to me. Always helpful and fun to be around and talk to. Scott Hottmann

Sincere condolences to all the family especially to so many of the "boys" I played with and against. May he rest in peace!
