Barbara, I was so sorry to hear about Paul. Jim absolutely loved working with him. He had such a lively sense of humor, and he dearly loved his motorcycles! You will remain in my prayers during this difficult time.

To the Griffin family;
I served with Paul since his entry in to the State Police in 1972. He always performed his duties at a high level, starting out in Troop C, through his duties later with the motorcycle unit. He was always a professional and a Credit to the State Police, and supported the saying of..."Troopers ride alone. but together in spirit". May he rest in peace.--EFL-

I first knew Griff as an officer in my hometown of Ipswich. In a interesting turn, I joined the State Police and was assigned to Troop C. During my short time there, I had the privilege to be patrol partners with him for two years. Lots of great memories working and spending time together off the job. He was a friend and a mentor to a young pup like me. He was one of the first NHSP motor officers and was everything you would expect in a Trooper. Rest in Peace my friend.

Barbara and family please accept my sincere condolences. I'm am shocked to hear such sad news. I will always remember how you and Paul were so welcoming of myself upon my arrival to Troop C assigned patrol. Paul was a true comrade in arms to all he knew and met in the NHSP. Truly a Troopers Trooper. Rest in Peace Paul, well done good and faithful servant.

I had many interesting and fun conversations with Paul, lots of witty humor and laughter. Ken and I always enjoyed the times we spent with Paul and Barbara - the Blue Knight conventions, friend gatherings at their house, and the visits they made to our home. Paul won't be forgotten. Prayers and much love to you Barbara and family.

Paul and I were in the same Academy class of Troopers hired in 1972. He was the consummate gentleman. A dedicated, even tempered professional. My deepest sympathy to his family.
