Robert Griffith

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Robert Griffith Sr., who left us peacefully on May 4, 2025, at the age of 85. Born on May 27, 1939, in Pennsylvania.

Robert was a devoted father to his son, Robert Griffith Jr., and his daughters, Cheryl Goles (John Stallings), Kathleen Griffith, and Darlene Peters (late Mike Peters). He cherished his role as a grandfather to Robby Griffith, Andrew, Matthew, and John Peters, and took immense joy in being a great-grandfather to Blake, Brody, and Brewer. He will forever be remembered for the warmth he brought to their lives.

A man of simple pleasures, Robert had a passion for hunting and a special place in his heart for dogs. He loved the sounds of the Beach Boys. Travel was another of his beloved pastimes; whether it was a day trip or an extended adventure, he embraced the experiences with his characteristic enthusiasm.

In his later years, Robert found companionship with Judy Gast, with whom he shared many moments of laughter and love. He also leaves behind his former wife, Joan Griffith, whose friendship remained important to him.

Friends and family are invited to a public viewing at the Connelly Funeral Home of Dundalk, 7110 Sollers Point Road, on Tuesday, May 13, 2025 from 3:00-7:00 PM immediately followed by a funeral service held in Robert's honor.

We invite everyone whose lives he touched to join us in celebrating the incredible spirit of Robert Griffith Sr. A kind soul and a loving family man, he will be dearly missed and fondly remembered.
