Memorial services are set for Daniel Griffin, the former director of admissions and longtime member of the SUNY Oswego family who peacefully passed away over the weekend at home with family after a courageous battle with cancer.
Friends may call from 3 to 6 p.m. on Thursday, August 4, at Nelson Funeral Home, 11 West Albany St. in Oswego.
Funeral Services will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, August 5, at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, 2912 Route 48 in Minetto. Burial will follow at St. Paul's Cemetery on Mitchell Street in Oswego.
"Our campus has lost a much-loved member of our community; Dan’s warmth, kindness, witty humor and Oswego pride touched so many," SUNY Oswego Officer in Charge Mary C. Toale said in an all-campus email on Saturday announcing Griffin's passing. "An Oswego alumnus with a 1992 bachelor's degree in English and a 2000 master's degree in education, Griffin was a member of the Admissions team since his time as a student. In 2018, Dan earned a high honor from SUNY –- the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Professional Service –- where he was aptly recognized for his nearly three-decade career at SUNY Oswego."
A scholarship at SUNY Oswego will honor Griffin's legacy at the college. You can make gifts in his memory via this link for the Daniel B. Griffin '92 M'00 Memorial Scholarship fund.
