    R.I.P. Uncle Murph. You always made me laugh. Camping and get togethers were always so much fun when you were there. I loved your porsche with the personalized license plate that spelled your name backwards. So I had to copy you and get personalized plates for my car with my name backwards: SLYREHS Sharon and family, I wish we could be with you during this sad time, but know that we are thinking about the good ol' days and how much fun we had. I am overwhelmed with the memories.
