Not sure what to say?

Fond memories of visiting Aunt Nora Conroy & Uncle Donald.

As well seeing Bob's sister Gail Griffin Sredanovic over the years.

Though Cousin Bob was 12 years older, he was always willing to chat when I was a child.

As a student @ CCSF it was always a delight to meet each other as we were walking the campus. Great conversations with lots of laughter.

Best of wishes to Bob's family at this sad time.

Bob mentored me when I was a new part-time instructor in the department. He was warm, kind and always available for support and advice. We stayed in touch over the years, and I am so grateful for his friendship.

My condolences to the family of Mr. Griffin. He was very kind when his former coworker, my father, Sam Carpenter, was ill. I enjoyed getting to know him during that difficult time. May he RIP.
