Eric
Griffiths died on Saturday 29 January about 11am at his home
in Edinburgh. After the Quarrymen’s last gig of 2016 in
Trondheim in Norway during which he experienced great pain
from the supposed back trouble from which he had been
suffering, Eric went into hospital for a check-up and it was
discovered that the real problem was cancer of the pancreas.
After a short time he returned home with his pain stabilised
on morphine and he was able to spend Christmas and the New
Year with his wife Relda and their three sons, Tim, Matthew
and Daniel. Knowing that his condition was terminal, Eric
typically spent his time sorting out his affairs in order to
minimise the burden which would otherwise have fallen on his
wife and family. During this period he displayed
considerable courage and fortitude, but eventually he became
too weak and was moved to a hospice. However he decided to
return home where he passed away peacefully in his own bed.
