Gary Steven Griffin

Gary, you were my older brother that was always there for me. I always remember the photo of you holding me on top of the box that was my playpen on my first Christmas, both of us in matching red sweaters. Thanks for all the great stories, jokes and fun you brought to my life! Until we see each ther again, Love Kevin

Dear Gary,
You left us way too soon! But you left some great memories: accomplished drummer, wonderful positive attitude, and most significant, a special smile. I met you and your family when I was a teenager. Those memories are very special to me.

Just short of my parents, Gary had more impact on my life than any other person I have met. Gary was a sound leader and motivator when we worked together at Goodyear and a fantastic inspiration when we opened TechMaster Tire in Daytona Beach and Deland. Working side by side for hours upon hours never really seemed quite like work when you were with Gary. Anybody that has done inventory with Gary at midnight, while eating wings, pizza and enjoying a cold Killians, is certain to feel the...

Gary was an integral part of my life, from the days of the Swingin' Temptations to the Goodtime Express to our years of adventures with Goodyear. He was always there to offer ideas and solutions, even if they weren't exactly "by the book". He was involved in both of my careers and I will truly miss his wisdom, humor, artistry and willing spirit. As a musician, he was one of the finest I have ever worked with. He had a knack for bringing energy to a band that the audiences loved. As a...

In a lifetime there are only a few individuals we can consider truly close friends. Gary and I go back to the land of young teenagers when his brother and I were in our first rock and roll band. He later became a great drummer in the Orlando area and we had anincredible band called the Goodtime Express. It was when he was with our group when he met his incredible wife, Linn. What a musician and friend he has been. I will truly miss one who I could say was a true friend.

To a brother with a wonderful heart who helped so many in his life, may your rest and peace allow you to be with Lynn and find new enchanting landscapes to paint.
You will be missed by many who are so glad you were here for this journey. Your Brother, Ben

Both Gary and Lynne will be deeply missed. The memories we have of us together will forever be cherished and relived in stories of laughter and joy. Our trip to Palm Springs, CA was without a doubt the funnest of all times for Amy and I spent with friends. I don't think the State of CA has yet to recover from some of the things the four of us did in our journey through Hollywood and LA. My fishing trip with Gary several months ago is a memory that I will cherish forever. Watching Gary...
