After all these years I have just learned of the death of fellow Marine and fellow Rockland County Resident Michael Murphy. I would love to drop a note to his family if possible. I am saddened as to how his death occurred, and express my grief to his family, and Son who is also a Marine. I am now 93, a retired Marine, living in Alexandria, VA. A 22-year Marine veteran, served in Korea and Vietnam. Former resident of St. Dominic’s in Blauvelt and St. Agnes in Sparkill. I was also the Marine Recruiter in Nyack in 1950-52. My email is below.
