Obituary : CAPTAIN DONALD (DON) EUGENE GRIFFIN USAF

Donald Eugene Griffin, 81, passed away on November 20th in Orlando, FL. He was the loving husband of Raelene Seiler Griffin. They shared 52 years of marriage together.

 

Born in Hominy, Oklahoma, he was the son of Ruby Lay Griffin and George Griffin. He attended Hominy Highschool and Oklahoma State University. He was a veteran of the Vietnam War and served in the Airforce as an F-4 fighter pilot. His commercial aviation career span through National, Pam Am, and Delta airlines.

 

Don will be remembered for his love of golf, having home cooked meals, and spending time with friends and family. He will be remembered for his humbleness and easy-going personality. He always thought of others before himself and would give anything to make sure his family was happy.
