I am sorry to have learned so late of Mr. Griffiths' passing. He was a remarkable gentleman with a gift for connecting with everyone. It was our congregation's pleasure to welcome him and his lovely wife Rosemary each and every time they visited First Baptist Church, Brampton. I remember sharing stories with him at one particular Anniversary dinner and I will miss him. May God bless all his loved ones as they grieve the loss of his physical presence until they meet again in the presence of our Lord.

I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of John Griffiths. I was a member of Kingsway Baptist Church as a teenager when John and his family arrived. John was our associate minister. He was a very gentle and compassionate pastor. Later when my husband Rob became a pastor we would meet John briefly at Conventions and always he had time to chat with us and inquire about our pastorate at the time and how our children where. My maiden name was Lamb. Rosemary and the family are in our thoughts and prayers at this very sad time.

Dear Rosemary: God bless and strengthen you as you grieve John's death. It was always such a joy and blessing to see you both when you visited with us at St. Andrew's. John was a gentleman, a churchman, and a true disciple of Christ whose life was marked by much grace and kindness. I will continue to lift you in my prayers. Mark Lewis

Dear Rosemary, Gillian, Stephen and families, Jeff and I are both saddened by the loss of John, an amazing gentle servant of God, family-man and deep friend to countless. Like many others he guided, he was my pastor through my childhood, baptism, marriage and dedicated both our our children. His passionate care and kindness will always be remembered, along with his humour and contagious laugh. Often I reflect on "what would John have done" as I have been pastoring and his giftedness continues on in many like myself. Know our prayers and thoughts are with all of you, and we are saddened we cannot make it to the visitation and service. Praying the countless memories warm your hearts as time goes on. He will be missed, however God is faithful and has welcomed him home. John will always be in our hearts and memories, and his legacy of love and compassion (and Welsh hymns) continues. With love Linda and Jeff Wolfe
