Robert GRIFFITHS

Je suis très triste de savoir que mon cher ami est décédé. Nous onions de bons amis depuis son temps comme professeur á L'Université Memorial à Terre Neuve. Veuillez accepter mes condolences les plus sincères.

So sad- Robert was a good friend and important to so many people . An inspiring teacher, musician and unwavering friend. He will be missed by all his family , colleagues and friends.

Robert was my French tutor at Ripon. He also interviewed me for the degree. My mum drove me to the interview and Robert welcomed us both in his green corduroy suit. He asked my mum if she wanted to join us for the interview which she did. We have often talked about that occasion and what a lovely gentleman he was.
He was very helpful to me with my studies and I really enjoyed studying French and our stay in Grenoble.
The last time I saw Robert was at Chris Vicary's 60th at Montsales. It was so lovely to see him after so long.
Sending my condolences to all the family X

Ça fait longtemps que Je t’ai vu mais je me souviens de ton charme et gentillesse et encouragement de tous tes étudiants à Ripon Collège. Merci pour tout et excuse-moi de mes fautes de français!

C’est avec une grande tristesse que j’ai appris le décès de Robert hier. J’ai été un de ces étudiants entre 1978 et 1983. En plus d’être un excellent professeur, il a toujours été un homme d’une grande gentillesse. Je n’oublierai jamais comment il m’a aidé en 1978 lorsqu’il s’est arrangé avec le directeur du Collège pour que, en tant qu’étudiant gay, je sois transféré du campus de Ripon au campus de York, où il y avaient d’autres étudiants gays et le « Gay Society » du Collège.

Je garde d’excellents souvenirs du temps passé avec Robert, tant au Royaume-Uni qu’à Grenoble.

Je pense à toute sa famille en ce moment de tristesse…
