Sorry to hear about Jim's passing, we were at the South Weymouth Naval Air Station for a while and then met again some years later on board the USS Constitution as part of both the 1797 Marines and the 1812 Marine detachment. I had not seen Jim in many years as I have moved, but was very sorry to hear.

To the Entire Murphy Family:

Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. I meet Jimmy many year ago when he was friends with my brother Sonny Enos. He was at our house many times and I remember what a funny and good friend he was to my brother and our family. He is one of the memories of Cambridge that I will never forget. Please know that the entire family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
