We were so very saddened to read of Pat’s passing. Pat & I would reminisce about days gone by. Family visits to Campbell’s Bay when he was young. My parents, Ray & Geraldine Bowie were always happy to spend time with the Griffin’s when they would make a trip from Montreal to the Pontiac.
Please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of your father, brother & grandfather. He spoke of you all with much love.
Sincerely, John & Sheila (Bowie) Lawn, Campbell’ Bay

My sincere condolences to the whole family Griffin. You are always remembered Patrick. Talking to you everyday when you visit your sister Susie at Ste Anne Hospital.
Rest peacefully in heaven my friend.
Remembering Patrick,
Pat was one of my best friends in high school at Bishop Whelan and at St. Joseph’s Teachers College. We hung around, played no sports, went for pizza, and laughed a lot. In 2010 Pat tracked me down here in Ontario and came to visit. It was as if the 50 years in-between had never happened. He was still as funny as ever. I’m so sad to hear of his death. My condolences to his family and friends.
Thank you so much for your kind words and sharing your memories of our Dad, with us. Happy to hear he found you again after all those years and you were able to reconnect. I do remember hearing your name more than once! 🙂 He will be missed.
Pat was always one of my favourite cousins, always had great stories and jokes. Pat will surely be missed by everyone who knew him. Miss you, Pat. Rest is peace

I am very sorry to hear of Patrick’s passing. I went to Teachers College with him. He was a great friend and often called me to tell me of any news about people we had gone to St. Joseph’s teachers college with. I will miss him. RIP Pat. I am sure we will meet again in Heaven.
