James Lanier Griffin III

Dear Fran,

Wes called me.

Jimmy was a big recruiting draw in my cherished years as a KA. Even separated by time and distance I think of him and you often. Our few overlapping years at State were the best, and his charm, kindness and incredible laugh often come to mind-even as my other memories fade.

Much love,

Dear Fran, so sorry that I can’t be there to send Jimmy off to the place God has prepared for us. He was one of the toughest and most upbeat person I have ever known. Even in his last days our talks were like nothing was wrong and he was ready to climb a tree and shoot a deer! My condolences to all the family! Larry Cooke

Thanks for the Great Memories and friendship over the last 25 + Years WHC

I had the good fortunate and occasion to be in elementary, junior high and senior high with Jimmy. We formed a group of 6 of us later in life and called ourselves "The Augusta Road 6" ( lifetime friends in the Augusta Road area).

We spent a weekend every year at the beach, rotating to the mountains 6 months later. Jimmy, Carroll Campbell, Temple Roane, Tommy Miller, Max McClain and I constituted this group. Spouses were invited and some "tall taiis"were told. A Fun group!

We´ll miss Jimmy and his infectious laugh and humor, Travel safely...see you on the other side, my friend.

Semper Fi´.
