Not sure what to say?

My sincere sympathies to the Griffin family. May God the hearer of prayers bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time Isaiah 65:17

When I was in High School Art said something wise to me that I have never forgotten... "When someone wants to be nice to you, let them!" He was very, very funny, no small gift. I got to to fly to Roche one summer to see Anne. My dad said to him "was she good?" Art quipped "good and sick!" Apparently the flight was bumpy!! RIP Uncle Art. Don't worry, the quest to catch ol fighter goes on.

Club 28 will dearly miss Art. We enjoyed his heartiness at last year's gathering. Our deep condolence goes to ML, Tren, and their entire family. We treasure fond long-ago memories of Art. Sadly, we send our love.

Afterglow beach wont be the same...the man always had a smile on his face. He loved his garden and orchards. He even tended to my father's orchard as well...spraying them with god's knows what, and I would say, "Art, don't you need a breathing mask or something?" He would just smile and say "nah, that's for sissy's".

So sorry to hear about Dr. Griffin's passing. The family should be proud of the work he did in the Medical field. There are doctors and then there are "good" doctors and my father Dr. Jim Layman valued the medical expertise Dr. Griffin had. Dr. Griffn was a "great" doctor and my father relied on Art's skill in radiology to confirm or discard diagnoses and to help develop a medical plan of treatment for the many patients our fathers treated at Providence and in Seattle

I will miss him 'daily' ~ we looked forward to his 'visit' for a paper and Ice Cream while up on SJI in his Cabin on the Beach ~ Roche Harbor Market (Debbie Sandwith)

We will miss him dearly,Afterglow beach will not be the same with out him. I love when he would tell me the story about the purchase of Afterglow and making the deal with Grandpa Rueben Tarte, classic. Our condolences to ML and family-Neil and Janine Tarte

He cared about and loved his family so much. We were all so lucky to have him in our lives and our memories will continue. Such an inspiration to me.
