It was nice to meet the 911 CARES team at the Navigator Conference and put a face with the name.  Thank you so much for all of your efforts.  We all appreciated the cards and condolences from folks all over the country that were generated from your web site.  The cards and money donated from people that have no idea who David was is very touching and inspirational. We also appreciate your box of gifts and cards that 911 CARES sent to our staff. Your support has been amazing. Thanks

David Griffin

The Manatee County Emergency Communications Center is requesting a 911 Cares activation to help support the family of one of our 911 dispatchers who died suddenly while on a walk with his wife and 7 year old son.  David Griffin, 45, had been an employee with ECC for only a few years but made a lasting impression on all his colleges.  His sudden death has devastated us all.  We would like to show our respect and support by assisting his wife and family with any financial concerns.  There is a trust for his youngest son in the works.  Untill then any donations or cards can be mailed to his wife Tracey Griffin 11317 Ivy Flower Loop Riverview FL 33569.   Any questions, inquiries, notes or condolences to his co-workers can be answered by Davids shift captain and close friend Mike.Turner@co.manatee.fl.us .  Thanks in advance for all of your help.
