It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Richard Griffith of Midland Park, New Jersey, who passed away on August 27, 2025, at the age of 67, leaving to mourn family and friends. Family and friends are welcome to send flowers or leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence. Though Richard may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the echoes of his kindness, the warmth of his embrace, and the light of his enduring love.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, John "Jack" Griffith and Evelyn Schroeder Griffith; his siblings, Kendall and Karen Sonderburg; his nieces, Lisa Kapoian and Laura Van Bloem; and his great-nieces and great-nephews, John, Rachel, Marty Kapoian, Timothy and Matthew Van Bloem.
