Griffin Hollister Sernoffsky

Griffin Hollister Sernoffsky, 18 of Coventry, beloved son of Robert and Charlotte (Hollister) Sernoffsky died Tuesday April 28. 2015. He was born in Hartford, CT on January 5, 1997 and was a senior at Coventry High School. Griffin was a kind, funny and loving son and brother who was always up for the shenanigans of the day. He was often heard asking "What fun is going to happen today?" He loved skiing, especially in Maine, longboarding around town, paintball and airsoft with his friends, along with fishing and sailing. He had a great love of a wide variety of music. He was a member of the high school concert and jazz band, where he played the baritone sax and recently taught himself to play the tuba. He was a member of the varsity wrestling team and the afterschool cricket club. Curious by nature, Griffin took an interest in a wide variety of subjects, not the least of which was what his friends and peers were up to. His approach was as real as the situation called for and often conveyed his sarcastic, biting humor as well as kindness. He will be cherished forever by his mom, dad, sister Julia, dog Reilly and a long list of extended family and friends In the spirit of this kindness, his legacy will continue in others by his gift of organ donation. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Coventry Scholarship Foundation in Griffin's name at 78 Ripley Hill Road Coventry, CT 06238. There are no calling hours but friends and family are invited to a celebration of his life at Second Congregational Church 1746 Boston Turnpike (Rte 44) Coventry on Sunday, May 3rd at 5pm.
