Overview

John Joseph Griggs died on December 30, 2022, at age 75, according to the Globe and Mail obituary. He earned his law degree from Western University in 1972 and practised for more than 40 years in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. The obituary records that he retired from Miller Thomson in 2019 and later settled in Thornbury, Ontario. Historical legal-directory material describes his work as including corporate and commercial matters, financing and lending, estate planning and succession, personal tax, private-client work and private mergers and acquisitions. He contributed to the Waterloo community through Waterloo Rotary, the Estate Planning Board and KidsAbility. The obituary also notes that he lived with multiple sclerosis for more than 35 years and supported MS research. His death and retirement explain why the historical Miller Thomson contact should be cleared rather than refreshed as a current lawyer profile.
