Bill Fort says
I knew Murffey as the "snowbirding" Murray King, the champion eater of Ronnie's "mogambo extravaganza" and a great friend. Those were the days. Rest easy my friend. Billy Fort
Brenda Cromas says
When our families went to the camp at Rock Springs for a cook out, Murray made delicious beans that tasted like baked beans. Only they were not. He made them on the the stove. For years I have made these beans. And I think of those days every time I make them. We will miss you Murray.

Murray, we're all going to miss you, especially at the courthouse on Friday nights for Bluegrass music. Another angel in heaven. Kendra, you hang in there girl. You don't think so now, but you will be alright. Love, Charlotte
