Mrs. Ann and family, I was so saddened to learn of Mr. Horaces passing. He welcomed us to Woodruff when James and I opened the Small engine shop. He was a wonderful friend to us and would stop by almost every day. My thoughts and prayers are with you each. He loved to talk about his daughter and son and his grands.RIP Mr.Horace

We are very sad to hear of Horace´s passing, I worked for him back in the late 80s and he taught me many of life´s lessons as a young man. Horace and my father Berlin Griffin worked together and also became good friends. We want to extend our love for his family and we are truly thinking of you during this difficult time.
