Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. “Grampa Griff” was a great man.
We just saw Griff 2 weeks ago at the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada’s Information Day. We live in Montreal now and we just can’t tell you what a thrill it was to see him!
He gave so many years of service to our brain tumour patients, as did Pat, his daughter. Such giving caring people we have never met.
We miss sweet Pat and now we will miss wonderful Griff.
It has been our honour to have known and loved them both.

Nancy,
Sorry to hear of the loss of your Father. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
Dear family and friends of Griff Moore,
It is so sad to hear of the passing of Griff, our cherished, long time friend and devoted volunteer of the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada. Griff and daughter Pat started volunteering in 1989 in the very first office located in our basement on High Street when we were known as “BRF”. Pat would bind the first handbook, help mail out receipts and roll coins. Griff would never fail to turn up to work a bingo with the gang. They were instrumental in the creation of our first support group (London), and loved by so many group members through the years.
We were so surprised and thrilled when Griff attended the October Information Day reception. He had an opportunity to renew acquaintances with many old friends and see how far the Foundation has progressed.
Griff’s loving smile, quick wit and charming personality will be forever in our hearts. Thank you Griff and Pat – we will miss you.
Love Melodie & Steve Northey
Griff was a great guy. I will remember him always.
Love,

Dear Family,
My sincerest condolences to all of Griff’s Family.
While Griff was at Ashwood Manor it was my pleasure to have Griff as one of our residents. I looked forward to Griff’s beautiful smile and his kind and caring way.
He was truly a great gentleman and I will miss him.
Alanna (Activity Director Ashwood Manor)
My sympathy goes out to all of Griff’s family. Griff was a man I really admired. He gave the best hugs ever! I will miss Griff as I miss Pat. My prayers are with you.
Dear Ted, Sallie, Nancy, Neil and Families —
We are saddened by the loss of your Father, Grandfather & Great-Grandfather. We regret that we are unable to see you today, but please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
We will be with you tomorrow to celebrate the life of a wonderful gentleman–Griff Moore.
With Love & Sympathy,
Rob and Fran
Dear Nancy ,My condolences for you and your family. When I think of your parents just two words come to mind, laughter and love. They were both exceptional people whom I had the pleasure of seeing each time I’d visit with Pat . The warmth of their smiles and the memories of many visits together,will remain in my heart.
Hello, we do not know each other but I am writing to you in regards of the loss of your dear family member, Griffith Moore. I would like to send my deepest sympathy. It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love and it can be most difficult to bear.
The Bible, however, holds out a wonderful hope. The Scriptures indicate that it is possible to be reunited with your dead loved one in the near future right here on earth – Psalms 37:11. Although this is a time of sadness, I would like to direct you to some encouraging and comforting information that can be shared amongst you and your family.
