Wilfred Griffin of Riverview passed away on Friday, May 10, 2019 at The Moncton Hospital. Born in Emyvale, PEI on June 10, 1938, he was the eldest son of the late Louis and Mae (Gallant) Griffin.

Wilfred had a passion for music and was always up for gatherings that involved singing and playing the guitar or keyboard. Many children over the years sat next to Wilfred as he played the piano for them. He loved old-time country music, fishing, skating, watching sports, solving word puzzles, berry picking as well as a good game of cards. He cherished moments spent with his family and particularly his grandchildren. He attended Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church. He spent 30 years working with Marine Atlantic and CN in PEI, Toronto and Moncton. Because he loved to drive, he then worked for several years as a shuttle driver for car auctions and Enterprise Car Rental, which took him around the Maritime provinces.

He will be dearly missed by his loving wife of fifty years, Anne (Peters) Griffin, daughters Lynette McMullin (Steve Bone), Sheryl Griffin (Mark Lawson) and Erica Copeland (Jamie). He will be fondly remembered by his sister, Colleen Coady (Brian); brothers Brendon (Vicki), Raymond (Shirley), David (Pauline) and Lorne; sister-in-law, Eileen Griffin; grandchildren Adam, Isaac, Hayley, Jackie, Erin, Leah and Cael; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Besides his parents, he was predeceased by granddaughter Meaghan Dumville, sister Sheila Peters, brother Leonard Griffin, sister-in-law Anita Griffin and brothers-in-law Fred Doiron and Leo Peters.

The family will be receiving relatives and friends at Cobb’s Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 330 Whitepine Road, Riverview (869-2007) on Monday from 3-5 and 7-9 pm, with parish prayers and sharing of memories at 8:30 pm. A funeral mass for Wilfred’s life will be celebrated at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, 5 Fatima Drive, Riverview on Tuesday, May 14, 2019 at 1 pm with Father Phil Mulligan presiding. A reception will follow in the parish hall. Interment will take place in Alderwood Cemetery. Donations to Cystic Fibrosis Canada or the Canadian Mental Health Association would be appreciated.
