As a child I had the opportunity to spend time around Murph as his partner Carlos Araiza was my Webelos cub scout leader. I was always so impressed with His intelligence and gentle demeanor. Always loved being able to see him every week when we had scouts at the Araizas home thank you Murph for your sacrifice .
