I'm so sorry to hear of Griff's passing.
He was part of our Happy Hour group in University City. My husband & I moved from U.C.to Ramona in 2001. I talked with him several times after the move, but once his phone was disconnected, I lost contact with him.
Griff was a kind and talented man. He didn't hesitate to help anyone who was in need. He was a great golfer, artist, and was never at a loss for telling a story. I'm sure you all miss him very much. I'm proud to have been one of his many friends.

Dad,
I don't know of anyone who had a better father. Yes we had our differences but you supported me all the time.
It was hard to loose you but you were in such pain I know you are in a better place. You are now with Mom and Connie enjoy your time with them.

Love Bev
