FLOYD, Va. Marshall Olin Griffin, Jr. passed away on Wednesday, August 31, 2016, in the care of his loving family. He was born on January 21, 1934, in Indian Land, S.C. He was the son of the late Marshall Olin Griffin, Sr. and Addie Rodgers Griffin. He was also preceded in death by his sister, Mary Eldora Miller; and brothers-in-law, Robert McGuirt, and Ernest Miller. Surviving to cherish his memory are his wife of 58 years, Gayle Miller Griffin; sister, Joyce Griffin McGuirt; daughter and-son-in-law, Robyn Griffin Hatch and Daniel Hatch; sons and daughters-in-law, Phillip Karl Griffin and Elizabeth C.

Olin was a 1955 graduate of Clemson University. After college, he served in the U.S. Navy. After completing his military obligation, he enjoyed a career in textiles. His textile career brought him to Hollingsworth & Vose in 1981. It was there where he fell in love with Floyd, Va. and where he continued to live until his death. After his career at H&V, he enjoyed several years as a realtor working for United Country also in Floyd, Va. Upon retirement, most of his time was spent with family, friends, traveling, collecting art, working in his treasured gardens and pulling for his beloved Clemson Tigers. Friends called on Friday, September 2, 2016, from 5 until 7 p.m. at Gardner Funeral Home and at a Memorial Service on Saturday, September 3, 2016, at 11 a.m. at Floyd United Methodist Church. In lieu of flowers consider contributing to his favorite local charity, Plenty!, 192 Elephant Curve Rd. NW, Floyd, VA 24091. As his family, we will miss his big personality, casual evenings on the back porch with friends and great family vacations. GO TIGERS! Love You Big O!
