Alan Griffith Obituary
Alan, born July 6, 1956 had extreme hearing loss as a child and lived with that disability throughout his life. Having left high school before graduation he managed to find gainful employment early on (earning a good salary for the most part) until a herniated disc curtailed the jobs Alan was able to do up to his retirement.
Alan was described as a quiet man, who had charity in his heart and was always ready to help others even with his limited resources. Alan was not a materialistic man and didn't worry about much being somewhat of a free spirit. His family and friends will miss his quiet presence and his kind spirit. Services and Interment Private.
