Not sure what to say?

I offer my prayers of comfort and peace for the family. I taught at Patrick Henry HS in Roanoke with John for just 2 years - his smile and positive attitude made my short time there so memorable. Heaven has gained an angel for sure. - Loren Lane

I am sending my condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Griffith. He was my biology teacher, my coach, and my student driver trainer at Central of Lunenburg. He taught me much more than that. I always considered him my friend as well. I remember fondly his big smile and words of encouragement. Rest in Peace, Coach

The class of 1958 Park View High School sends their deepest condolences. I just spoke with him about 3 weeks ago. He told me what was going on but didn't say anything about it being so advanced. We had a long talk and reminisced , of course, about the good ole days in South Hill. SO glad we did.

I taught with Gwen and my grandson was on John's golf team at Patrick Henry. I am so sorry for your loss, both John and Gwen.

Robyn, We were so sorry to hear of your father´s passing. We are thinking of you. Keep all your wonderful memories close during this time.
