Sorry to say my friend Roy Griffith has passed. Roy , formerly a field rep for Crane Cams for many years died at home New Years eve. Roy befriended many of us racers while with Crane and I will miss his smiling face and gruff voice. God bless you Roy. I have yet to get any info as to services. Will pass it along when I can.

What sad news. Roy was one of the great representatives you would see along the NHRA Manufacturer Midway. He was also a common sight in the staging lanes or pit area visiting with the racers and discussing products. Roy was very instrumental in supplying our race team with Crane products and was a pleasure to do business with. Other manufacturers could sure learn by example of the type of personality needed to connect with the racers.

What sad, sad news! Roy was truly one of the good guys. We would seek him out at every national event. Here is a pic of him and Alex at Joliet 2009.

Godspeed, Roy!

You couldn't find anyone more dedicated to serving the customer and had great follow-up skills. He loved being at the events and dealing with the public. He leaves a lots of friends who enjoyed his company and humor. R.I.P. Chase
