Kandace K. McDaniel, chairman of the Escambia County Healthcare Authority, made the announcement of Parker's retirement as administrator of D.W. McMillan Memorial Hospital, effective June 30, 2008.

Griffin is a Brewton native and a 1979 graduate of T.R. Miller High School. He is also a graduate of the University of Alabama and is a certified public account.
Griffin is married to the former Robin Lallier also of Brewton. They have three children, Kaitlyn, Christopher and Zachary.
