Glenn's Grandaddy, Marshall Griffin passed away this past week on Friday. He was 90 1/2 years old and will be missed by SO many. I know Emily will miss her Grandaddy Griffin, especially all the hugs he would come give her on Sunday mornings down in her Sunday school room. His obituary is posted at the end, so you can read all of his "facts" and interesting information. These are just a few pictures that I have of him over the past 4 years. That's when we got our digital camera so I don't have pictures before Emily was born.
He loved going down to Lane Peach packing plant watching the peaches get ready for packing.
These two pictures, above and below are just 2 of the Christmases we spent together.
This was when Emily was born. He was so proud to have a great grandchild born in Georgia.
Below are a few pictures taken at his 90th birthday party in February and some that were made after that.
