He lived in Hagan Georgia all of his life and owned Griffin’s Appliance Service with his son Brian. Every morning he loved to give the dogs a ride before going out for the day.

Buddy took a lot of pride planting the garden, which was very beautiful with an abundance of vegetables. He shared the garden with his family, friends and neighbors. Buddy was a very Christian man. He loved his family and friends. He believed in helping anyone who needed it in anyway. There were several customers he met on service calls, who didn’t have the means to pay, and he would forego the bill. He would help those who were struck by tragedy and help them out. He enjoyed listening to gospel music and classic country music, which included Johnny Cash, Hank Williams and Elvis Presley. Buddy was well thought of and loved by everyone in the community of Hagan, Claxton and Evans County. He was preceded in death by his parents, Loran and Gladys Griffin; brother, Kenneth L. Griffin.
