I was saddened to hear of Jim's passing. As an administrator at PSC, I had the utmost respect for Jim's ability, his dedication to the College and his sense of fairness. He was an outstanding person and Board member! Please know that Betty and I will keep the Griffith family in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,

Jim Griffith was a dauntless defender of access to higher education. A braver champion the community colleges will never have.
