Richard “Dick” S. Griffith Sr. of Newtown, PA, peacefully went to be with our Lord surrounded by his loving family on Thursday, July 28, 2016 at Fox Chase Cancer Center. He was 84.

He was the beloved husband of 60 years to Helga “Sunny” Lensch Griffith.

Born in Philadelphia, PA, Richard was the son of the late Stanley H. and Mildred M. Nixon Griffith.

Dick owned and operated Alpha Systems in Huntingdon Valley, Pa since its inception 41 years ago. He was a generous, loving and deeply spiritual person who devoted his life to not only his family but to God, his church, and to a private faith based foundation that he founded.

Dick will be greatly missed by everyone who has had the pleasure to know and love him.

Griffith and Kelly. He is also survived by his 12 loving grandchildren: Richard S. III, Jessica, Peter, Brittany, Danielle, Kendall, Colin, Ian, Brett, Avery, Justin, and Lauren and his sister Shirley Hartzell.
