Robert “Bob” Drewland Griffin, aged 79, was a hardworking man, known for his dedication to helping others. He was a lover of tinkering and piddling; he worked for many years as a mechanic. A Navy veteran, he settled in Victoria, Mississippi, where he and his wife Linda made their home.

His family and friends know him for his compassionate nature and inability to sit still. Bob enjoyed fixing things, riding his motorcycle, fishing, gardening. He loved his hobbies, but above all, he loved the Lord and his family and friends. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He was a good and honest man who left a lasting impression on those who were lucky enough to meet him and will be remembered for his kind heart and firm Faith.
