Bio and Links
Bio Photo Hello I'm John T. Griffith, born in Oceanside California, a Viet Nam War US Army MP Veteran and a former CHP Officer. In September 2002, I assisted the National Archives Administration Center, Missouri, in replacing lost and destroyed US Army files. It was during that research project I discovered Find A Grave, wanted to be a part of it's concept and became a member. I have always had a passion for history and the people who have lived it. People in everyday life who through the needs and demands of their times shaped the world. I believe each day is a gift and the best part of any day is that day. I'm also a professional musician, still performing and haved shared the stage with many named artists. In addition, I'm a vintage guitar expert who has contributed, plus co-wrote for many vintage guitar books and articles in magazines about the subject. Plus I'm a photographer, writer and historian, for the San Diego Reader. I, my wife Mary and our Dachshund "Timmy", reside in Vista, California. Thanks and best regards, John

Hi John!
Thanks a million for getting back to me so quickly regarding the great soul singer, Al Wilson's burial location. I really appreciate that!
I will check with the cemetery office this week and ask them if Mr. Wilson has a headstone. I searched the given location of his stated plot and there was nothing to mark the spot. I think the person that added him to the veterans cemetery was mistaken. I too checked the online Evergreen database and saw that Mr. Wilson is indeed buried at Evergreen.
Thanks again for all that you have done for this site.
I will let you know what I uncover.
Thanks again!
Sincerely,
Brigitte

Actor Favs
Just went through your Virtual Cemetery of Actor Favs. Saw so many old actors that I had not thought about in years. Really enjoyed seeing the photos and reading about them. Thanks for putting it together.

Thanks for linking his parents! No relation of mine, so no need for a transfer. I went to this cemetery looking for photo requests today and realized many memorials weren't listed, so I just clicked away with my camera! I have many to add, but thought it was important to include the families! :)

Many Thanks,

John,

Thank you. Rich was a very good friend of mine. I would see him when I was out at Pearl for the memorial services. We would sit and talk for hours. He was living history to me. He's a great loss to what is out there. Thanks very much.

Respectfully,
