Statement by Bishop Ken Good Following Death of Dean Victor Griffin
The Bishop of Derry and Raphoe, Rt Rev Ken Good, has paid tribute to the Very Revd Victor Griffin, former Dean of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, who died at his home in Limavady in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
‘It was with considerable sadness that I learned of the death of Dean Griffin on Wednesday.As a Curate and Rector here in the Diocese of Derry and then as Dean of the National Cathedral in Dublin, he proved to be a formidable and inspirational churchman.
‘Dean Griffin was a man of great faith and humanity. Displaying a willingness to speak prophetically and courageously, he was fearless in answering God’s call and yet, to those who knew him, he had a pastoral and sensitive heart. He will be greatly missed.
‘I extend my deepest condolences to Dean Griffin’s son, Kevin, to the wider family circle and to his many friends.’
