Sheriff Griffin I'm so glad I got the pleasure to know you over the last few years as you meant the world to my dad. My dad really enjoyed working for you over the years. After finding out who I was you were just the sweetest man and I enjoyed talking to you about working on your farm. My thoughts and prayers are with your family as I'm sure their hearts are heavy. Rest in peace ...
Mr G as i called him, was always, pleasant, kind, and real, he will be missed.
I remember a time, when i built my "rat rod truck". I had the body on the frame, and it was rusty, as rat rods should be. He always had his classics in top condition, so this was a concern for him. He told Richard "i only have one word for that.....DUMB!"
That was Mr G, told you what he felt. Thanks for letting me know you these last 10 yrs, rest in peace, Mr G.

My favorite memory of Mr. Griffin was that he graciously shared his property a couple of times with the Barnett Bank group's annual picnic. He was a fine and generous gentleman.
