My condolences to the Griffin Family. I worked for the company Joe partnered with when he owned G&W Associates. We made good partners for the year I was there. We grew the sales at one major account from $20,000 annually to $1.2 million annually. 

I leaned quite a bit from Joe and always wondered how he was doing. Then it occured to look him up via his beloved U.C. Berkeley. 

Great Man
