It is with great sadness that I have to report that we lost our great friend Frank Griffin last night.
One of the greats we'll miss him.

We have known for some time that Frank has not been well from his son Bruce but it doesn't make it any easier just hope it was a peaceful passing. Thank you for keeping us informed Bruce.
sad news RIP sir we have a funeral on WED for our ESSEX member MIKE JACKSON at SOUTHEND CREM..
OSSIE.
Another Club Corner Stone & family friend gone.
His last message to us via Bruce was-
"Frank insists on you raising a couple of pints to his name…. and only tell the good stories… otherwise he’ll be pissed off."
Our condolences to Bruce & the family. A great loss to us all.

Long, long ago when I barely knew him, he offered me out of the blue, a strings-free loan to help me through a tricky spot.
Then subsequently became a brilliant friend.
Some 25 or more years ago, I twisted his arm to be our Tech' team draughtsman and draw all the Vincent bits, and a wonderful job he made of it. [He was even approached once to draw the Merlin engine]
So many stories.
Many moons, laughs and beers later, I'm sad he had to leave.
So long Frankie, we had a lot of fun.

Farewell Frank, what a brilliant chap! I found his collaboration with EMGS "Shedding Light on Obscure Components " fascinating. I believe that Frank did a revision of the Richardson book. A lovely man who like me was a fan of the Goon Show.
After we had already been informed by Frank's son Bruce last week that his father's health was very poor, the news of the death of our good friend Frank Griffin is still unexpected.
In 1977, Frank was one of the founders of the Dutch Section, where he was Section Organiser several times in the following years. We wish Bruce and family lots of strength.
