Jerry ‘Glenn’ Griffin, retired police officer

Jerry “Glenn” Griffin, 76, of Millsboro passed away Thursday, Dec. 31, 2020, to go home to be with his Lord and Savior.  

He was preceded in death by his father, Neil H. Griffin; his mother, Eleanor Becker; his sisters, Gracie Russ, Ramona Smith and Retha Reiser; his brother, Neil “Harold” Griffin Jr.; and his daughter, Kimberly Lynn Griffin MacDonald.  He is now reunited with his family and friends in heaven.

He is survived by his son, Todd G. Griffin; his daughter, Cheryl Ann Griffin; his son-in-law, Gregory MacDonald; his grandsons, Todd G. Griffin Jr. and Ronnie Pleasanton Jr.; his furry granddaughter, Shadow; his sisters, Rena Johnson (Jay) and Frances Griffin Apgar; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends; his ex-wife and friend, Theresa McGee; and his best friend, Donald “DD” Oneal (whom the family is very grateful for!).  He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.  

Glenn was a police officer for many years, working for Ocean View, Frankford/Dagsboro and Ellendale police departments.  He was involved with the Millville Fire Company for seven years and Frankford Fire Company for seven years.  

He had much love for his family and getting to spend all the time he could with them. The love he had for music and enjoying watching people smile and dance while he was playing.  He played guitar and sang with the band Atlantic Sounds for many years and 50 Shades of Gray many years ago.  He and DD, up until close to the end, would get together and play music and sing by themselves.  He also loved fishing.

Due to COVID, there will not be any services.  There will be a Celebration of Life held for him at a later date for family and close friends by invitation only.
