Griffiths family -- I´m so sorry to hear about the passing of your husband and dad. He was a great man! He left a wonderful posterity!

I will always remember Kent as a rattlesnake hero, football-size potato provider, and someone took it upon himself to look out for others. He often called with an offer of something to share, a suggestion for how we/he could look after the church property, or to mention someone who could use a visit. We will miss him.
