Re: henry griffies
Quite a shock when we heard on tuesday night at a Holstein Club meeting. All our sympathies to Margaret, Jay and Robbie and their families.

Re: henry griffies
I had the pleasure of working with Henry at many shows and sales over the years and can honestly say that the guy was a genius in the world of "stocksmen"...i,m sure he will be sitting on a cloud somewhere planning his next adventure ,,god bless "Henry" you were a bit special....
