Larry Eugene Griffith, 82, of Sumerco went to be with the Lord Thursday, December 12, 2024, at Hubbard Hospice West, South Charleston.
Larry was a member of Sumerco Church of God. He was a cross-country truck driver and heavy equipment operator. He loved driving trucks and could direct you to any place in the United States by memory. He never met a stranger and was loved by everyone who came into his life. He was a hard worker and would help out anyone who needed him. If you met him, he would always make you laugh. His family was his life, and he always put them first. When Maleah was born, she matched his sense of humor. They were a team. He always took pride in taking care of his family. Summer will never be the same. If the sun was out, Larry was on his mower.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Ralph and Virginia Cooper Griffith; brother, Rother Griffith.
Larry is survived by his wife of 62 years, Hilda; daughter, Melanie Griffith; son, Kevin Griffith; granddaughter, Marissa Vincell; great granddaughter, Maleah Vincell; siblings, Ruth Jones, Linda Banks, Ralph Griffith (Sharon), Clarence Griffith (Sue).
Funeral will be 1:00pm, Sunday, December 15, 2024, at Sumerco Church of God with Pastor Richard McCallister officiating. Burial will follow at Midkiff Cemetery. Friends and family will gather one hour prior to the service at the church.
Condolences to his family and loved ones.
