Willie Griffin Jr.

When my family returned to the states from the Panama Canal the first band I played with on saxophone was "Brother Rap and the Professionals" featuring Willie on guitar. It was a lot a fun. My condolences to the family and many friends!

I remember Willie he got me started playing music in 1970 (Saxaphone) he was one of the best guitarist I know he will truly be missed my condolences go out to his family

Willie was one of members of The Fire Band from 70's with us. We remember him as one of the best guitar players we had ever seen. He will be missed for so much more, he was a good man and friend. GOD bless the whole Griffin family. Our prayers are with you, Malcolm and Marvin Bolling and The Fire Band Family.

A Reminiscence

YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.

May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.

Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast...

I remember eight ball when i was growing up on Harding St. as a young man, he was always kind and a straight up brother, may god bless him and his family...
