Not sure what to say?

Will was such a good friend to all who knew him with a generous and loving spirit. Rest in the peaceful arms of our Savior, Will.

We are saddened by the loss of Will Griffin who not only a good attorney but a good man. He was kind enough to lease to our firm for 15 years and was a generous man with his time and patience. I was privileged to be a "friendly competitor" even though I never felt him to be a competitor. He was available with advice when requested and always affable and gracious. He was devoted to his family. He will be missed by many. He will live on for us in his memory.

I was saddened by the news that Elise's husband Will had passed away. Though I only met him once at one of the East High School class reunions, I know Elise and Will spent many wonderful years together. My wife Kay and I send our heartfelt condolences to Elise and her family.

Liked Will a lot. Our East High Class of 1962 made him an Honorary Member. He was a great man!

Will was a sweet man and we enjoyed him at his time with us at The Avaline at River Oaks. We were grateful that we had the chance to help him and his family. Peace be with all of his family

Will was one of the kindest and thoughtful attorneys I ever worked with. We closed many commercial real estate deals together and he always worked for the betterment of everyone sitting at the table. It was always a pleasure and a joy to visit with him as he always commented on how nice I looked in my pinpoint dress shirts. He always made you feel special. My condolences to Alise, their family and his coworkers. Will, we will miss you.

Going back as far as Junior High School, Will was one of the kindest, considerate, and thoughtful people I ever knew. He will most certainly be missed by all.

So sorry to learn about William. He was in my home room at Central and was a wonderful person.

Deepest sympathy for the loss of Mr. Griffin. I had the pleasure of working with Will, Jr. at one time. I lost my father to Parkinson´s as well. Condolences to the family.
