I was just notified today that my longtime and great friend, Eb, passed away. He was truly a great friend and i shall miss him. Griff and i served together in the Army's Special Forces at Bragg and RVN. I personally know of his love for his family, friends and country. I will always remember Elbert and the time we shared together.

Dear Jeff, Dawn, Candice and Richard, Griff Senior left his legacy in this world by having a great son, Griff Jr. I know you will never fully understand the impact you and your family have made in the life of kid from North Jersey. I am proud to served in the Army with you. I am proud to have stood by your side at your wedding in Vegas, and have you stand by my side in Atlanta. As I always said, I love you like a brother. Jim, Julie, David, and Julian Quinonez.
