Every story I have ever heard has made you out to be a great man, a sweet man, a passionate man, a man of honor and respect. Every adventure you provided for your daughters and grandchildren will continue on. You may no longer be with us physically, but someone as amazing as you can never truly be gone. You live on in those pictures we hold so dear, in those stories that will be told for years to come, in the memories of every person who met you, and especially those you held dear.
I simply want to say Thank You! Thank you for raising, along with Grandma, four beautiful daughters. Little girls who grew up to be amazing women. Women who had children of their own, and in doing so, ensured that your legacy would continue on. Thank you for every single Griffin, I love them all, and although I've only been around for 8 years, I feel like I have known them for a lifetime.
I would like to especially thank you for one specific daughter. Thank you for Eileen in whom, along with Grandma, you instilled amazing ethics and morals. The same virtues she eventually passed on to your first born Grandson, my own sweetheart Nicholas. A little boy who loved Grandpa and grew into a man that respected and held you dear to his heart. A man who would eventually meet me, and help in creating the next generation of Griffins. Thank you for making my little man a possibility. Without you, there would be no Julian. There is so much more I can say, so much more I can write, but it all comes down to one thing.
THANK YOU
