   Marty... We Love You                                               


Marty has had the most interesting life of anyone I know!

He has been gifted beyond measure with so many God-given talents... boundless energy, insatiable curiosity, great intelligence, creativity, an amazing singing voice, humor, and the ability to connect with others! He has brought these gifts to share with the world in all of his various accomplishments and careers... a college graduate (the first of the Murphy siblings), a navy pilot, stockbroker, insurance sales, car junkyard owner, real estate sales and broker, and inventor, financial backer, manager, and advisor to many... {including his sister, Maureen's bilingual phonics program... Soundsalive}, actor and performer {on stage in La Jolla, San Diego, and in assisted living homes}, author The Mind Whisperer, and AA mentor to so many grateful fellows!

Marty has been married to Monita for 57 years!  (12/22/62) Congratulations!

Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves.” Pierre Teilhard de Chardin {The Mind Whisperer, p 145}

  4. What a beautiful tribute to Da (is what I call him)! He truly is an inspiration. He brings so many gifts to the world, loves fiercely and cares deeply. I love him! I'm grateful for the 31 wonderful years of knowing him, confiding in him and loving him! He has always been the one to pick up my call no matter what and give me guidance to fix whatever "problem" I'm in. So fun seeing everyone on zoom last night.
