Words alone cannot express sorrow or symphathy, so please take to heart that The entire Griffin family are in my thoughts and prayers at this time. He will be missed by many and was loved by the masses. may his remarkable life forever be embedded in our memories.

Condolences to your entire family. I truly enjoyed Mr. Griffin's humor and love as a husband, father and grandfather. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

I am just a viewer of the D list but I have such a fondest for Mr. Griffin. He just seemed liked the most wonderful father and husband.

God Bless you all, Mary Mulhern
