A Talented Car Mag Editor Lost

Larry Griffin's Utah

I don't know how I missed this but on April 3rd theCarConnection's daily blog included an article on the passing of Larry Griffin, a long-time editor of Car and Driver. I'd never met Larry but his name was familiar from years of reading the magazine. So who was this guy? As with all car mags (and automobile Internet sites) we enthusiasts get to know, vicariously, the editors and writers, perhaps wonder what they're like as individuals, wonder where they came from, what they do when they're not testing cars. Or we just take them for granted; names on a page. I confess that Larry Griffin was one of the latter. Larry, my apologies and wherever you are, thanks for years of great reading. As a former car mag editor I know how difficult it can be to fill those pages while keeping the publishers happy. Apparently Larry Griffin preferred to be behind the lens, so no photos of him are available but he loved the wide-open (driving) spaces of Utah. Hence this view. You have to love it.
