Gary Griffith Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 1, 2024.
Gary Thomas Griffith, 63, of Hatfield, Pennsylvania, passed away on May 28, 2024, in his beloved city. He was born on December 3, 1960, in Abington, Pennsylvania.

Gary, known to many as "Griff," was a dedicated family man with a larger-than-life personality. Those who had the privilege to know him adored him for his positivity, willingness to help others, contagious laugh, and unforgettable sense of humor. Gary's devotion to his family was evident throughout his life.

In his career, Gary started at H.P Cadwallader right out of Upper Dublin High School, where he worked for over 40 years. His impeccable work ethic led him to quickly rise to a managerial position. Despite the long hours, Gary loved his job and felt fulfilled every day.

Outside of work, Gary enjoyed a variety of hobbies. In his younger days, he could be found on the golf course, football field, or relaxing with a cold beer at Toners or Gin Mill. He was an avid sports fan, a skilled woodworker who crafted his own furniture, and even built a house in Nova Scotia. Gary created lasting memories on campgrounds and beaches like Aruba and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Gary is survived by his loving wife of over 30 years, Susan, his devoted daughter, Jessica, his brothers David (Kim) Griffith, Bruce (Patti) Griffith, his sister Mimi (Dan) Berret, and numerous other family members. He was predeceased by his mother, Joan Rafter, his father, Robert Griffith, and his sister, Sandra Chiriano.

Services for Gary will be held at a later date, with arrangements entrusted to John E. Stiles Funeral Home in Huntingdon Valley, PA.

Gary's presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his legacy of love, laughter, and dedication will live on in the hearts of those he touched.

So sorry to see Gary pass. I do get comfort that he is up there with Frank and Hans. When you got those three together there was nothing but laughter. Gary was a wonderful person and I would of guess right that he would of been a great father and husband. RIP Gary

Susan and Jess I am so saddened about Gary´s passing. I sold him ink at work. "Dawg" was always a pleasure to see and share stories with. He loved his family and would do anything for anybody. Gary you´ll be missed by many. Thank you for your friendship!!
