Our Deepest Sympathy on the loss of Dean. (And my apology for such a late sympathy.) He was a generous benefactor to the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers Ga--near Lithonia. In addition to that he was a friend of my family. My father, Lawrence Myslinski, was employed by Griffith Labs (now Foods)for over 50 years. The Monastery and the Myslinski Family are deeply grateful for Dean's life and the whole Griffith family and business. Our prayers and love are with them. With much sympathy Fr. Augustine Myslinski--monk at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit.

I worked for Dean from 1998 - 2003. We both had a passion for boats and had many conversations about them. Even after I left the company and came back to Griffith Laboratories office if Dean was in the office and heard that I was coming he would invite me up to his office to look at his latest boat.
He built a great company and I will fondly remember my time there.
My thoughts and prayers to Lois and family.

My deepest condolences to the Griffith Family for their loss. Dean was an exceptional man who I admired greatly. I was fortunate to learn much from him as his was a life well lived. May the lord welcome Dean with open arms and may his family be blessed in the future without him.

Holding dear Lois, Brian, Lori, Scott and extended family in our thoughts and prayers, as family was the most important thing to Dean. A lifetime as a neighbor; forty years of work on the Chapel; I now know my parents, Derald and June West and Dean are finally together planning the next mission for the unchurched... Praise the Lord for this man with vision, drive and respect.. Love you, Dean. Thank you for everything - Praise God!

Dean Griffith will live on in the legacy of the many missions he & Lois began. He will live on in the memories of each individual whose life he touched. I know where he is this Easter .. singing in the heavenly choir as he's never sung before!

I feel honored to have had a chance to meet and talk with Dean at Fred Boger's gatherings in Bull Valley. Dean was a great supporter of Fred through Fred's many ups and downs, and I'll always have great respect for Dean in playing that role.
Take care Lois. The memory of Dean and you lives on in all of us.

Our hearts are heavy hearing of Dean's recent passing.
A broadly intellectual man with an amazing vision for life's big picture.
His testament to hard work awarded him the ultimate maestro of all things faith, business, and travel.
We will miss him.... his smile, his spunk, and his unforgettable moxie!
Loving Prayers to Lois and Family
