    Sharon, Van and Janet (and Karen & David) I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Murph. I have so many childhood memories of “uncle” Murph. He spent the night at our house (The Lyden’s) a few Christmas Eve’s and slept in the hallway so we could not sneak and look at our presents. He gave us Millers Outpost gift certificates and we thought we were the richest kids going shopping! We all used to beg him for that Porsche! Most of all we will remember him always smiling, always had a hug for us and the many memories from going camping and going on hikes and “hit the dirt!”. Murph, the legend, will be so missed. Love you guys.
