mrsmontague   10 #1 Posted August 6, 2016 Does anyone remember MURFINS PAINTERS AND DECORATORS ? Lol Murfin owned it initialy, and then Richard, his son took it over, when his Dad died.I think they were on Spooner Road, but not certain. I heard that Richard has died as well, so sad about that, if its true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I heard that Richard has died as well, so sad about that, if its true.  I worked at Gazzard in the early 60s,we had a guy whose name I always felt was Murphy. I knew his family had a decorating business and the person I thought was Murphy had a falling out with the family Perhaps it was Murfin and not Murphy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
mrsmontague   10 #3 Posted August 8, 2016 It was Murfins, for sure, I dated Richard Mirfin for a while, he had auburn hair, and he never worked for Gazzards. He always worked for his Dad,in the family business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If he has passed away it is very sad as he would only be in his early to middle 70s now, I have a feeling that he did have a fall out with his dad about this time but went back to work with his dad, I can't remember who he went to work for Edited August 10, 2016 by sheilawragg1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
