Thomas Griffin was a retired Navy War Veteran. He spent most of his military career in the Hampton Roads VA area, after retirement he drove for Andy’s Cab out of Norfolk Va., he moved back to his hometown of Fitzgerald to take care of his mother. A lot of us know Thomas as Pops, he was a man who took his trials & tribulations like a man. He never knew how to show it, but actions speak louder than words. No one lives long enough to see their legacy, but he embraced the storm, challenged the system, paid his bills & worked all his life. He is finally at peace with his soul mate Carol Griffin.
