Frank - Bob Murphy died in 2005, and he was 65 at the time of his death.  I added the small obituary I found for him while searching for Ann's obituary as a FYI for former friends who might be interested.............

Sorry Karen, I did not see that it was ten plus years ago. Ann sat with us last year at the Alumni Banquet, and she talked about how much she missed him. Ann was in the Class of 1958, we graduated together. Robert was in the class of 1956, that is the same year my Sister Mary Myrna Graduated. You do a really GREAT job of Posting all of the Obituaries of Elk County People. I will be more careful and read them better. Please accept my Apology.
