Edward R. Murphy

Edward Richard Murphy, Managing Director of Vermiculite Institute from November, 1947, to October, 1965, died October 19, 1965, after a prolonged illness at the age of 62.

Ed Murphy gave direction and status to Vermiculite Institute, and over the years was its principal spokesman at the conference tables of many industry related groups throughout this country and Canada.

He was given the "Award of Merit" by the American Society For Testing and Materials in June, 1964, for "His Vigorous role in the development of Standards within Committee C-11 on Gypsum and for his active interest in promoting the use of Society standards in building codes". He had also been cited as a "Life member of the Western Society of Engineers," and as a "25 years or more" member of the Building Officials Conference of America. Early in 1965 he was also selected for inclusion in "Who's Who in the Midwest" for his outstanding contributions in the building field.
