He started his own business in 1900, providing friendly and knowledgeable heating and plumbing services to Montrealers who were just getting used to the idea of indoor plumbing. The James Griffin &amp; Son horse and buggy was a common and reassuring sight on the city&#8217;s streets.Over the years, the fleet of buggies grew, and the next generations of Griffin sons completed apprenticeships and joined the company. James&#8217; son J.P. Griffin took the reins in 1952, leaving them in the capable hands of his own son, licensed master plumber James G. Griffin, upon his death in 1965.James G. Griffin headed James Griffin &amp; Son until his retirement in 2012. His son, Patrick Griffin, joined him as co-president of the company in 2007.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/jamesgriffin.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/office.jpeg\" target=\"_self\" itemprop=\"url\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"no-lazyload\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesgriffin.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/office.jpeg\" alt=\"The city faces the Ishikari Bay\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"235\" width=\"178\" title=\"The city faces the Ishikari Bay\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" class=\"no-lazyload\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<p>888, Rue Dorchester<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/jamesgriffin.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/banquet-th.jpeg\" target=\"_self\" itemprop=\"url\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"no-lazyload\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesgriffin.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/banquet-th.jpeg\" alt=\"Berkhamsted Parish council\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"188\" width=\"294\" title=\"Berkhamsted Parish council\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" class=\"no-lazyload\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<p>Master plumbers&#8217; banquet, 1935<\/p>\n\t<p>Patrick Griffin a travaill\u00e9 dans l'entreprise fond\u00e9e par son arri\u00e8re-grand-p\u00e8re depuis 1999.
