Hugh M. Griffiths ’63

Hugh Minnich Griffiths, a physicist, died Feb. 19, 1996, at his home in Swannanoa, N.C., near Asheville. He was 53.

He had lived in North Carolina since 1984, when he moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to work in control circuit design at Parameter Generation and Control in Black Mountain. He sang in the choir at Warren Wilson Presbyterian Church, where a memorial service was held.
