"Griff" was my supervisor for approx. 10 yrs. and after a kinda rocky start he ended up being probably the best one I had in my career at GTE/ Verizon. He was a very fair person, and a lot of fun to be around...we had some good times.
Griff was one of the good guys, I have fond memories of him at GTE.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

I worked with Griff for the better part if my career with GTE/Verizon. He was the best supervisor anyone could have wished for. Shared a lot of laughs and probably more than our share of beers together, a better friend you could never find.
There is not room to share all the memories of Jim, but I will tell you he was a great guy and I am glad he was in my life! The memories will be forever cherished... Our condolences to you, Jim Jr. & family....Tom & Jan Smith
Jim was a great guy. I really treasure the times we shared together. We would laugh at each others terminology for different things. Like me calling a car trunk a boot and the hood a bonnet. I asked him one day if I could drive on our way to Hart. He said ok but sounded a little nervous. Anyway off we went. Along a straight piece of road and no on coming cars I pulled out to pass a car. Jim said ( in a shaky voice) are you sure honey. We made it 😃 lol.. We had so much fun together. His family are lovely too. Jim and Bonnie and Cinde, you always made me feel so welcome. Oh one more funny thing. Out hunting one day and I shot my 1st ever deer. Jim didnt get anything. I asked him if he would like me to show him how it's done. He laughed.
RIP Jim. Love you xx
Our thoughts and prayers to the griffin family . We know he will be missed. Love Irvin and Dee johnson
