My deepest sympathy to Murdock's Family,and Friends.When He first
came lnto Marlboro He asked where
the Amercian Legion Post was.He
litup like a Christmas tree when He
foundout We played cribbage there.The
Legion opened at 11am,and He would be
the first one in.When I arrived He had
the cribbage board,and cards in front of Him.
Murdock was so proud of His Service in
the Military.He was well virsed in all
subjects,and enjoyed talking sports with Me,and especally when it came to
the NE Patriots.
I will always remember Him as a foe in
cribbage,and a Friend in Life. May He
rest in peace!!
