Peter Alden Griffin, Sr., 80 of Leonardtown, MD passed away on July 18, 2022 at his residence.
He was born on November 24, 1941, in Washington, D.C. to the late Peter Atwell Griffin and Edna May Robinson.

Together they have 5 children, 17 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren. Peter was a family man and enjoyed every moment spent with family.
