Dennis was our neighbor in Fairport, and always a calm and kind figure in our lives. We have happy memories of getting to know him over the years and he will be missed.
To all the Griffo family,
We are saddened by the passing of your family Patriarch, but glad for the years of happy memories that you have built. I never met Dennis, but from what I know of the Griffo family, he had to have been a great dad, husband, grandpa and friend. That is an amazing legacy that we should all strive for. We will continue to pray for you and offer our help in any way we can. God bless.
