Obituary for Herbert T. "Herb" Griffin

Herbert T. "Herb"  Griffin
Herbert T. Griffin, 91, passed away on November 9, 2016 at his home. He was born on September 24, 1925 in Boston, Massachusetts to Chester and Adeline Hall Griffin.

Soon after finishing high school in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, in 1943, Herb entered the service, attending Officer Candidate School (OCS) and graduated as a 2nd Lieutenant. Following additional training in the Army Corps of Engineers he finished his three years in the service with a year’s duty in Japan.

In 1950 he married Audrey Hewitt of Brownville Junction, Maine and in 1951 graduated from University of Maine as a mechanical engineer. He then worked as an instrumentation engineer for 21 years with the Bailey Meter Company of Cleveland, Ohio, spending his last 15 years as a Resident Engineer living in Augusta, Maine.

Herb’s hobbies included building, tinkering with and fixing things, camping and just working on his land. Herb also had a wonderful bass voice and loved singing in his church choir.

In 1972 he accepted a position with the Production Department of Central Maine Power Company ending his career as Assistant to the Executive Vice President. Prior to his retirement in 1985 Herb and Audrey bought 12 acres of land in Union, Maine and later built their retirement home there, the log home of their dreams overlooking sunsets over 7 Tree Pond. In Union and Warren Herb did much to improve facilities of both the Union Methodist Church and later at the Warren Congregational Church and as of January 2012, back to Peoples United Methodist Church of Union, Maine. He also was responsible for many years for the Union Historical Society’s 1840 Old Town House. But above all of this, Dad loved to serve his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Though their 4 children live in distant parts of the United States he and Audrey took many trips to visit and help their daughter and 3 sons.

He leaves his wife Audrey Griffin of Union; Sons: Dale of Evanston, IL, Wayne of Chippewa Falls, WI and David of Tacoma, WA; Daughter: Martha Jackson of Union, Maine; Ten grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren.

Friends are welcome to join the family for a time of visitation from 9-10 AM. on Tuesday, November 15, 2016 to be held at the Peoples United Methodist Church in Union, followed by services at 10:00 a.m., followed by a reception. Interment will be at the Maine Veteran’s Cemetery in Augusta.

Contributions may be made in Herb’s name to the People’s United Methodist Church, P.O. Box 105, Union, Maine 04862.

Hall’s of Waldoboro has care of the arrangements. To extend online condolences, visit Herbert’s Book of Memories at www.hallfuneralhomes.com.
