I would like to send my condolences to Peggy and Mick Murphy about Sam. Sam was great at anything he did, and his smile and presence could light up any event! I will never forget the 5 years I spent around the Murphy family. The love and support they gave each other showed me what a real family was supposed to be like. I will also remember and treasure every time Sam met Mick and I at Watts Bar, drove us out to Sand Island in that glorious K-raft to have fun in the sun,and tried to teach me...
