My prayers are with you. I met Mr Murff when I was a student at Knox Doss. Actually he was the only principal to paddle me. We met again when I started at Gaylord in 2006. We laughed about the paddling incident. He became a good friend who was always in good spirits. He would always put a smile on your face. You will be greatly missed my friend. God speed

I was so sad to hear about Harold. I first met him and his wife @The Opry House where they worked. He always had that smile and helped us hostesses with the crowds during the shows. May the Lord comfort the family and friends during this difficult time. God Bless!!

It is always nice to know some one....where all you have to do is go hang with him in the hallway for a minute, and the rest of your day would go better. Harold's smile and personality definitely have made a lot of school days brighter. Thanks for sharing your husband and father with so many others. We will never forget.....

A man who is fortunate has maybe five close friends on whom he can count. To me, Harold was one. Having worked closely with him for nineteen years at Gaylord, I saw, and was the recipient of his Christ-like demeanor. I shall look forward to being reunited in Heaven.
