Obituary for Richard L. Murphy

"Sgt. Murphy (Rick) and I were Sgts. together with A Btry 1st LAAM Bn. 66-67. Rick and I together would provide security up and down Highway from Hai Van Pass to DA Nang. I was shocked to hear of his passing he was one the finest Marines and Motor T Sgt I had the honor to work with. I spent two years with 1st LAAM Bn in Vietnam and there isnt a single memory that dosent include Rick. God Bless you my Friend, May God continue to comfort your family. And we will serve together again Semper FI"

"To the Murphy Family,
I was so sorry to hear that Rick had passed away and I want to extend my deepest sympathy during this sad time. I met Rick when I worked as a teacher at Thorntons Ferry School. He took great care of all of us and helped make the school a great place to work and learn! One winter day years ago when I was staying late to prepare for the week, it was dark when I was got ready to leave. Rick walked me out and watched me get in my car to make sure I was safe! I'll never forget that and know he quietly did so much for everyone. He was a kind man with a big heart who always looked for ways to help and serve. May he rest in peace and I pray you find comfort in fond memories and the promise of eternal life. Eileen LoVerme"
