Read MoreMr. Griffon was a true Christian gentleman. He was the sponsor for ALL of the boys in my confirmation class in the early 1950s, and he was our original PeeWee football coach for St. Joseph's School. He was our trusted family pharmacist, and more than that, a kind and helpful friend of the family. God rest his soul.

Mr. Griffon was a good soul. I remember well shopping at his pharmacy and buying snacks there when I worked next door at The Book Boat. He was a treasure and will be sorely missed.

I met Papa when Skip took us to his beloved coast and showed him off to us. I don't think a man could have loved or been more proud of his grandpa than Skip was. He will be missed but what a beautiful legacy he leaves behind. We send our love to his entire family and thank God for his life and all he gave to others while he was here with us.

I worked for the Griffons part time at their drug store through most of middle and high school. Mr Griff helped me purchase the engagement ring I gave to my now wife, Barbara, to whom I've been married for over 57 years. I think of the Griffons every time I look at her ring.

What a wonderful man! I will forever remember the warm greetings of welcome he and Mrs. Griffon bestowed on me whenever I went to visit them when I was home. I am blessed to have known him.

Oh, Marsha, I will miss your Daddy so much.....he's the last of "the Dads". No more big, tight bear hugs, but I'm so glad to have that video of his last birthday with that card....wow, what a great smile.
My love and sympathy to you and all your brothers and sisters from the bottom of my heart.
He is celebrating with your Mama in Heaven.
Love, Erin

Mr. Griff was my coach in little league ball. I never forgot what a good guy he was. The last time I saw him he gave me the rosary ring that I use every day. I'll miss him a lot.
