HAROLD GRIFFITH

Sept 21, 1918 - Aug 1, 2014 OKLAHOMA CITY Harold L. Griffith, Jr., 95, was welcomed into his heavenly home August 1, 2014, peacefully, with his family at his side. Harold was born in Cushing, Oklahoma, and lived out his life in Oklahoma City. He graduated from Central High School and Hills Business College. He proudly served in the U.S. Navy at Guam during WWII. After the war, he worked at his stepfather's mobile home business across the street from the State Capitol building. He later brought the business and moved it to Highway 66 in Bethany, Oklahoma. He renamed the business Brassfield Travel Trailers because they were now selling recreational vehicles. He grew the business to be one of the top Airstream trailer dealerships in the country. In 1983, he sold the business and traveled extensively with his wife in their Airstream and around the world. Harold was a bold believer in the gospel of Jesus Christ and always willing to share it. He was a longtime deacon at Olivet Baptist Church, where he served as a Sunday school teacher and in many other capacities. He loved his church and was there at every opportunity. Harold was preceded in death by his wife of 69 years, Albertine; and their oldest son, David W. Griffith. Harold is survived by his son, Thomas A. Griffith and wife Darla, of the City; daughter, Cynthia L. Davis and husband Steve, of Tulsa; daughter-in-law, Patricia Griffith, of Tulsa; eight grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. He loved to meet people and learn about them. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. A memorial service to celebrate his life will be held August 30, 2014, at 11 a.m., Chapel Hill Funeral Home, 8701 NW Expressway, Oklahoma City, OK. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Olivet Baptist Church ministries, Oklahoma City.
