Bobby Wayne Griffin

At a young age, Bobby's family moved to Galena Park, Texas. He graduated from Galena Park High School. At the age of 11, Bobby begin working for his father's business Griffin Refrigeration, where he quickly learned the value of treating the customers right and knew the value of a handshake. At the age of 13, Bobby received his first credit with Western Auto in Galena Park and soon after received his first loan at Galena Park Bank, starting the path of success for years to come. Eventually, Bobby opened Bobby Griffin Service Company at 1610 Clinton Drive, Galena Park. He continued operating his business until retirement. He could fix anything, repairing refrigerators, air conditioning and appliances. He was also a licensed electrician. Bobby designed his own home and built it from the ground up in Rio Villa which survived many hurricanes and storms.

Bobby also enjoyed racing cars. He was known for street racing and often times the Galena Park Police would have him race across the levy so they could see how fast their new patrol cars were. He finally stopped racing cars when his daughter Jeanne was born.

Bobby loved to dance and country music. He taught his daughters how to dance...his way! He was a man of great strength throughout his entire life, physically and mentally even to his last breath.
