Light a Candle
Robert N. Griffith, Jr. (Griff) finished his five year battle with brain cancer on February 28, 2023. His fight ended peacefully at home with his wife and children at his side. Born on January 26,1965 to Robert N. Griffith, Sr. and Irene W. Griffith (nee Wildgust) in Philadelphia PA, he grew up in the Roxborough neighborhood of Philadelphia. He graduated from Phil-Mont Christian academy and attended classes at Temple University in Business Administration. He was employed at Philip Rosenau Co. while a student leaving to start R. Griffith Associates, in 1992. He spent 30 years in business before his retirement in October 2022. Being self-employed allowed him the freedom to spend time with his family, wife, Barbi Griffith, son, Tripp (Robert N. Griffith, III), and daughter, Hannah M. Griffith. He is survived by them, his parents, sister, Jill Griffith Kennedy (Tom), father-in-law, Frank Bennett, brother-in-law, Keith Bennett (Michelle Conway-Bennett), and nieces, Claudia Bennett McMillin (Greg), Paige Kennedy, Grace Kennedy, and nephew, Addison Bennett, along with aunts, uncles, and cousins. A private service was held on Sunday March 5, 2023 at Valley Green Inn and the family will hold an open house Celebration of Life at their home (1252 Quarry Hall Road, Eagleville, PA) on April 8, 2023 from 12:00 - 3:00 PM.
