We (my sister and I) were saddened to hear of the passing of Patrick. He and his wife Pat were two friends of my parents who we could call by their first names. Since learning of his passing, so many memories have been coming back. Meg and Andre many times were by our home or we were by their home. If I am not mistaken Andre and my youngest sibling (Gregory) now deceased, shared the same
birthday. I remember them being at our home for birthday parties. Their neighbors were also close family friends and so as children we would go between the two houses irrespective of who my mother stopped by to visit. Such good times. My thoughts are with you Meg and Andre. Though we have not been in touch for a while, you guys have never been far from our thoughts. Hold on to the memories and God will see you through. With love from Gail.

Patrick my friend, gone too soon.
I miss your humour, laughter, and attention to detail. The professional approach you took to your job as a travel consultant and your customer service was par excellence. You really were one of a kind.
You will be truly missed.
Love

Remembering a life well lived and all the joy it brought to so many. In memory of a truly amazing person and friend of my family. We may have lost you but your spirit lives on long after you’re gone. May you sleep peacefully until we meet again.

It was Patrick’s practice to take us and his family to the beach after we arrived at their home in Edgewater, Jamaica. Meg and Andre were young and full of energy, and we all seemed like one big family. Patrick was always hospitable, respectful, easygoing, and a man who enjoyed clean fun. We would enjoy having a few drinks while our wives and the kids having fun.
I remember him as a very loving and caring man to his family, a kind and respectable friend, and a man with a good moral character.
Our sincere condolences to Meg, Andre and the grieving families. To his loved ones, especially his children, we hope that you find peace and solace in your time of grief. We pray that the days ahead bring you peace and comfort, and the strength to carry on.
May his soul rest in peace, and in our hearts forever.

I am Verna. My condolences to the family. Patrick and I grew up in the same neighborhood, he was my next-door neighbor. He was close to my brothers.
Patrick and I went on a mission one night to rescue a young teenager, not realizing we were endangering our lives.
Patrick was ambitious in achieving his goals and did not hesitate to go after them.
May his soul rest in peace.

Patrick Fitzroy Griffiths, Daddy, was and will always be my first love. For as long as I can remember, Daddy was my everything; even when the time came for me to grow up, he made it difficult to let go.
He was always there to support me in his quiet way but never allowed his love to make me a spoiled brat. He made sure his children were ahead of the learning curve when it came to certain things in life that sometimes caused or led some teenagers to trouble. Andre and I, we were learning to drive long before we could sit behind the steering wheel on our own. We knew the taste of alcohol, the dangers, the effects and how to manage it all from very early in life because Daddy never wanted any of us to be taken advantage of or pressured by others as we got older and went out into the world. He would always impress upon me/us, if you get a drink in a cup, make sure you see the bartender make it, never leave it uncovered, and if you turn/walk away from it, throw it away; and most importantly, never drink on an empty stomach and know your limits.
Some of the best lessons he could’ve ever taught us were:
- it’s not conceited, it’s confident
- If you plan to do something, do it with everything you’ve got, never with a half heart.
- The apple never falls far from the tree, so when it came to stubbornness, determination and devotion, we learned it best from Daddy, because he sure was stubborn, determined and devoted and I will always love him for it.
- Your dream is your dream and no-one else’s, so no-one else gets to tell you how to dream. You can seek advice and guidance on how to make those dreams a reality, but no-one but you sits in the driver’s seat, no-one but you decides who gets to ride with you and you get to the finish line when you and only you choose to cross over that line. He never did like ALL my dreams, but he was determined to love me enough to let go.
I’ll miss the times we would go out and just hang out, at The Base, parties or just at home chilling. I’ll miss the fact that he’s the only one who could get me to eat stewed peas. I’ll always laugh at how he would try to get me to eat peas, beans and seasonings by blending them before putting them into whatever he was cooking, his special soups on a Saturday. Daddy, I still can’t do mushrooms.
He loved to have fun, with his family, his friends, especially those friends close enough to be considered family that we call Uncle and Aunts and their kids our cousins. I miss dancing with him, it was always fun; not to mention when people didn’t know who we were and would mistake me for his girlfriend to everyone else’s delight. Nope, he wasn’t a cradle robber, just my Daddy.
Daddy, my Handsome, Patrick, Grandpa Patrick (as Vanessa calls him), you’re forever loved, emblazoned in our hearts, embedded in our lives. Until I get the chance one more time to “Dance with My Father” again, rest peacefully.

It seems like yesterday we used to rock the show
I laced the track, you locked the flow
So far from hangin' on the block for dough
Notorious, they got to know that
Life ain't always what it seem to be
Words can't express what you mean to me
Even though you're gone, we still a team
Through your family, I'll fulfill your dreams…

I had known Patrick for more than 44 years as he was married to my sister, Pat, who predeceased him in 2001. He was father to my niece Meg, and nephew Andre. Coincidentally, Patrick and I shared the same birthday, January 21.
Patrick had worked in the health field for a few years, but his love of the travel industry, where he spent most of his working life, made him the top salesperson while employed to Transcontinental Travel for many years; where he then moved on to Total Travel.
Patrick was always going the extra mile, whether it’s being there for his family, or helping other family members or relatives, a friend, neighbor, colleague, or even if he didn’t know you. He was very sociable and easy to get along with.
My children and I were saddened to hear of Patrick’s sudden illness which ultimately resulted in his passing.
I wish to say to Meg and Andre, that although your dad is no longer present in the body, his spirit will always be with you both. Whenever you feel sad, just remember the good times and the memories you had with your dad.
Condolences from niece, Nats; nephew, Ron and me.
May his soul rest in peace, as God has now relieved him of all his suffering and pain.

Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. It’s hard to forget someone who gave me so much to remember .

Patrick was an easy-going chap. We spent many Friday evenings together, especially in Grenwish Farm. He never occurred to be an individual who carried an affliction. He was very warm and fun-loving. There was never a dull moment in his presence. His smile lit up an entire room. He is sadly missed by the crew. This is Cebert Mitchell, formerly of Jamaica Customs.
