Dr. Murphy was a hero to me in the US Navy. I was a Corps Wave, and worked with him during my time at Bethesda. I remember him with great kindness to all his patients. He had a great sense of humor with all his caring qualities. I admired his faithfulness to his church, family, and Navy. May God comfort his family in their time of transition and great loss. Sincerely, Peggy Cook

I am so sorry for your loss. Dr. Murphy was a wonderful man. He delivered my son in 1975 and continued to be my Doctor until the day he retired. I had serious complications after my son was born and Dr. Murphy always mentioned that for years that we celebrated New Year's Eve in the St. Francis emergency room. I will always remember him on New Years Eve. May God bless your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

So sorry to hear the news of Dr. Murphy. He delivered my three children back in the early 80s. He was kind, compassionate and had a wonderful bedside manner. To this day I can see him smile and hear him say, "Keep the Faith." My sincere condolences to the family.

I am just shocked. I was flipping through the obits' list to locate arrangements of a friend when the photo of Dr. Murphy popped up. I was a patient of Dr. Murphy from 1978 up to his retirement. I found him to be an excellent doctor with excellent bedside manners. He took time with me as a patient and kept me in good health, as well as, up on what medicines were working or what recent studies reported something that was beneficial to me. I played tennis and he would also be up on tennis talk as I played right across the street at the Charleston Tennis Facility. When he was about to retire, I asked him how was I suppose to carry on and he told me that Molly Joseph had joined the practice and that she was an excellent Doctor. Well lo and behold, my daughter and Molly played Junior tennis together. One other thing, I used to see Dr. Murphy and his wife in Costco and no matter where we were in the store, he would stop and talk. Dr. Murphy was a Giant of a Doctor. He will be missed. I am glad he passed my way.

I worked for Dr. Murphy for 21 years at OBGYN Associates. He was great to work for and was such a good doctor and kind to his patients and his office staff. I certainly enjoyed my time there working for he and Dr. Joseph. We had a great office and a lot of good times together and with the patients. During this time I also saw his children grow up and that made my time there even more interesting and fun. I will miss him he was a good man!!
