Hi all,
I'd like to thank everyone for their condolences on behalf of myself, Russ and the rest of Hoss's family.
I've got an update on the arrangements that have been made.

Johnson-Romito Funeral Home
99 West Aurora Road
Northfield, OH 44067
[phone]
will be handling the visitation and service

Hours will be Wednesday 8/12/2009
2 - 4 PM and 6 - 9 PM
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made (to his parents) to help cover the burial costs.
Any cards being mailed to the family should be addressed to;
Mr & Mrs Richard Griffith

Northfield OH 44067

Cards can also be left @ First Aid, or soap booth during faire & we'll make sure Mom & Dad get them

Also - anyone wishing to come is Garb is encouraged to do so - and will be very welcome. Faire was a very happy part of Hoss's life and his parents know how important his other family was to him.

Thank you, Chris and Russ, for passing this info along. I'll be there.

Also, I'm putting this info out on my facebook and MySpace pages for those who might not read the boards. I'm guessing you also posted this on the R/F board, too.
Hugs & Love to the family, Sharon

This is the only place I have posted so far. Please everyone, feel free to cross post and put the information up anyplace you think it needs to be posted. Hoss knew sooooo many people that it's truly going to take an army to let everyone know.

I did post on the RF Board in the Maryland Thread as I know Hoss knew several people there but feel free to post it in the other Faire Threads like Okie and TN and the like. I've never been to all the Faire's that Hoss went to, just MDRF.

Here is the obit in today's Akron Beacon Journal.
There is also a guest book if anyone wishes to share their thoughts. I know it would mean the world to his family to hear from you all.

I confess, and I hope I didn't freak out his Dad, but I called Hoss's cellphone last night just to hear his message...it always made me laugh. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised that his Dad answered and I extended my condolences.

I would have loved to hear Hoss once more, tho'....

*sigh*
