D-List: Remembering....

John Patrick Griffin
October 29, 1915 to February 17, 2007

"Her father, John Patrick Griffin, worked in an electronics store and her mother, Maggie, assisted in a hospital's administrative office. Kathy is the youngest of three boys and two girls.

Her parents retired to California after Griffin graduated from Oak Park and River Forest High School in 1978. At the time of her father's death in 2007 her parents had been married for 65 years....[He] died in Los Angeles from congestive heart failure and multiple myeloma.

He had appeared on Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List many times, as well as four episodes of Suddenly Susan and a number of commercials.

In addition to Kathy Griffin, he was survived by his widow, three children and two grandchildren."

She might be on the D-List but last night she was A-Class all the way!

A note from her website, KathyGriffin.net...
""Thank you for all of your lovely comments and inquiries about my Dad. He passed away Saturday, February 17th at 2pm here in L.A. He had a very far reach in this world and is already missed by so many.

His ascerbic, rapier wit and true heart of gold made for a wonderful combination in a great man. He died from complications due to congestive heart failure AND multiple myeloma. Please keep my mom and my siblings in your thoughts and prayers. What can I say? I just loved him so much."

Please note that Kathy, her mother and family have chosen the following charity. They ask that anyone wishing to put in a donation to honor John Griffin do so at the following link: American Heart Association. Once again we would like to thank you all for the stream of good wishes and thoughts. They are so appreciated."

Anyway...sadness aside...Marius, how did you feel about last night's episode?
