Loris Temple “Griff” Griffin, Jr. passed away on Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 
the age of 70.

He is survived by his loving wife of 49 years, Lana Holmes Griffin; his beloved 
daughters, Michele G. Seiler (Scott) and Stacey G. Callender (Wendell); his 
cherished grandson, Taylor J. (his “Podnuh”) Elkins; three step-grandchildren, 
Kaitlyn, Stuart and Shaun Seiler; sister-in-law, Linda H. Breaux (the late 
Edward); nephews, Derek Breaux (Adrienne) and their children, Jordan and Gracie 
and Collin Breaux. 

He was the only son of the late Jessie Schallenberg Griffin and Loris T. 
Griffin, Sr.

He will be missed dearly by his family and will be fondly remembered as an 
especially devoted proud and loving husband, father and Paw-Paw, who valued and 
treasured his family immensely.

He was extremely proud of their accomplishments, cared deeply about their well 
being and provided them with his whole-hearted support. The legacy he imparted 
to his family was to instill the importance of commitment and responsibility 
for themselves and to others.

Generally known as a quiet man, he was generous of heart and gentle of spirit, 
a good listener and friend. His enjoyments were hunting, fishing, history 
discussions and cooking.

He retired from the New Orleans Fire Department in 1992 as a captain, working 
mostly at Engine #7, Rescue Squad, Engine #9 and Ladder #2. He was a member of 
Firefighters Local #632.

Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the funeral services 
at E.J. Fielding Funeral Home, 2260 W. 21st Avenue, Covington, LA 70433 on 
Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 12:00 noon with visitation on Thursday from 
10:00 AM until service time.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions in memory of Mr. Griffin 
to be made to The Salvation Army.
