The entire Greek community in Westminster is forever indebted to Dr. Griffin for guiding our search for our heritage, working with us for over 3 years to honor our ancestors, publish a book, and build a museum display. May his memory be eternal.

I was so sorry to hear about Dr. Griffin. Back a number of years ago, i worked the ER
3 -11 shift. It was an experience working with him. He was a fun loving person. Dr. Griffin, you will be missed. I wish your family Sympathy.

Etta Ray, I'm very saddened by Dean's passing. He took me under his wing in medical school and was the best friend a man could have. May the Lord grant him rest and grant you consolation.

Etta May & family,
So sorry to hear about Dean. Glad we had the opportunity to see Cuba together. You both made & are making such a contribution to the community.
