Larry Griffin vanished while doing his rounds on Christmas Day in 1929. Following a Mass marking the 90th anniversary of Larry Griffin’s disappearance in his native Kilmacthomas on Friday, a plaque was unveiled as tribute to him at the village’s former post office. The commemoration was organised by An Post and attended by the Griffin family, including the postman’s daughter-in-law Bridie Griffin, who is 99. However, she said now “there’s no ill feeling from the Griffin family and there’s no bad blood between us and Stradbally”. The Griffins still hope that Larry Griffin’s body will one day be located, but admit the chances are slim.
