> Hello. I am wondering if anyone would have a copy that they could share of an obit for John Edward Murphy, son of Camillie Currie and Ronald James "Turk' Murphy who died July 14, 2000 in North West Cove, Lunenburg. I understand that his obit appeared in the Halifax papers. > > This seems to be the obit you have requested however the parent's names which you mention actually seem to be those of his brother and his pre-deceased wife. I have included his mother's obit and the brother's obit as well. Hope this helps Chronicle Herald 7/17/2000 Murphy, John Edward "Murph" - 50, Northwest Cove, died July 14, 2000, at home.
