I worked with Murph in his pre-9E years and shared an apartment with him for a few months. After that I didn't see him much except for the occasional run in with him in the DTW crewroom, when I was at XJ.
He was a big guy with a big heart and always the smile on his face. Sometimes it was more of a mischievous smirk, but a smile nonetheless.
You will be missed, Murph.
