Re: Loss of a team member
 

I can remember meeting him my first year. He was one of the first people I met. He was such a funny guy, and so nice. Unfortunately, I hardly saw him afterward, randomly at competitions in my second and third year...I have no words, really...only that I am truly saddened by this. I saw Jeff Wetzel's post in his livejournal and almost hoped, prayed, it were a joke. Then I frantically searched for a thread to confirm, or not confirm, the post...

Griffen was such an awesome person, I am so saddened by this loss. I feel sorry for those who never met him, he was a joy.

To the family -- You're in my prayers. I'm sorry for your loss and pray you will cherish the memories you made with Griffen. I know I do.

Griffen was one of the most enthusiastic, outgoing, dedicated students on the team. He truly embodied the spirit of FIRST, reminding me of why I joined and so enjoyed the program in the first place. His goofiness was legendary. He was truly one-of-a-kind, and we are all deeply saddened by his loss. My heart goes out to everyone who had the privilege of knowing Griffen, especially to Baxter and his parents.

My heart goes out to Griffen's family, friends and teammates. I understand only too well - It's been nearly 2 years since we lost Karl, but it seems like yesterday. In my case, having team support at the time really helped.
