I’m very sorry to hear that Gerry has passed.
My condolences to the entire Griffin family.
Sorry to here about Jerry’s passing. The few times we saw each other over the years we would talk about
accounting and tax work(sounds kind of dull)but tax work can very interesting and challenging. I’m the oldest
of the cousins, and have now lost Terry Conley & Jerry in the same year. I guess life goes on and what comes
to us is inevitable. I know the wake and funeral will be well attended and I wish I could be there. I’m not much for
offering up prayers, but I will.
Jerry was like a second father to me! He was warm, always smiling, and loving! He will be missed greatly!
Jerry was a kind and wonderful man. He will be missed.
Gerry was such a presence in our Hillside Family. He was all of our big brother and we were all his siblings too. The first to venture into the real world. He made life seem simple and easy. Just standing next to you, one could feel your love of people and life. Thank you for making us all feel important!
God’s got you now! Please say hi to Mike and Rob for us. Blessings and peace to all struggling with losing you, Gerry.
Gerry was such a nice person. Two cousins from the Brown side of the family in such a short time. He will be missed. Love to all his family. Cassie and Tim Stack and family.
I know his son Ryan, Had the pleasure of being around Gerry few times.A.very sweet genuine man.
My condolences.
Tracy, I am sorry for your loss. Based on the comments left by others your father must have been a wonderful individual that cared deeply for his family and friends. Moments of sadness can be compared with a lifetime of memories that you and your family have of him.
