Chuck Griffin lit a candle

“To my dear cousins Connie, Karen, Tom, Kay, Sue and Deb, their spouses and children: Uncle Tom was a good and loving man. I was blessed to have some great Uncles, and Tom was certainly among them. Always welcoming to me and my late Mother who considered him a brother not "just" an in-law. Mere words are never quite enough at times like this but know that I will miss him and will think of him often, and with much affection. My love to you all. Chuck”
