Mr. Murphy,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army in Korea fighting the communist North Koreans and Chinese. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I remember Uncle Peter did a take-off on Jackie Gleason's "and away we go". It always made me laugh. I am blessed that all the aunt's and uncle's were together was at my wedding. When I look at these pictures now, it brings back all the happy times enjoyed at 1132 and down at the beach. Rest easy, Uncle Peter. Definitely one of a kind. Much love goes with you in peaceful rest.
