Obituary for Mr. Doris Griffin

Doris attended Buena Vista High School. He was employed by General Motors at the early age of 17. He continued his employment at GM transitioning into Delphi Chassis until he retired. He was big on family and friends, especially gatherings at which he would cookout and DJ. He had a great love for cars, and an ear for music of all genres. You could certainly expect a calm demeaner, his smiling face, those deep dimples, sunglasses, and his car clean as if showroom new, every time you encountered him.
