He was a proud veteran who served in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War from 1963-1968. Brian, fondly known as ''The Sheriff,'' worked for over thirty years for the New York City Sheriff's Department, retiring proudly as a lieutenant. In his final years, Brian loved going out to dinner with his family, laughing and celebrating with friends, donating to his favorite charities, and most of all, keeping up with his favorite H.S. football team, New Dorp's Central Cougars. His memory will be cherished and kept alive by his loving children, Brian K Murphy Jr, and his wife, Lisa, Rose Frassetti and her husband, Carlo, and Marlo Kay and her husband, John; and his six grandchildren, Julia, Olivia, Jack, Amelia, Rachael, and Grace. Brian touched many lives with his generosity, humor, and affectionate personality. He will be dearly missed.

A New York State decision that those who are vaccinated are no longer required to wear masks. However, our staff who have serviced over 350 covid funeral services safely will wear masks to protect those who have not been vaccinated or those who feel uncertain and our own families. We feel this is necessary because we have handled 8 covid deaths in the month of May and more as of this writing of June 21st.
