GREENE — David M. Griffin, 56, of Greene, died Saturday, May 2, 2015, at the Hospice House of Androscoggin Home Care and Hospice Services in Auburn, following a courageous battle with cancer.

Born in Lewiston on Feb. 18, 1959, he was the son Vernon and Berta Stevens Griffin III. Educated in local schools, he attended Gray New Gloucester High School, and received his GED from Oak Hill High School in 1993. On Dec. 18, 1982, he married the love of his life, the former Leah Tymoczko.

He was employed as a mechanic for many years by Fleet Truck in Greene, retiring due to his illness. He enjoyed antiquing and garage saling, and running a booth at the Cabot Mill in Brunswick, where he was known as the “radio guy.”
