George J. Ruppert, Jr., 55, of Williamstown, NJ, passed away peacefully at home on September 25, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.

George was a dedicated UPS driver for 32 years. His role as a father brought him the greatest joy. He was a loving and devoted dad who cherished every moment spent with his children. A passionate Philadelphia sports fan, George especially loved cheering on the Flyers. That same enthusiasm carried over to the sidelines of his children's games, where he was their biggest supporter and proudest fan.

Beloved husband of 31 years to Michele Ruppert. (nee Mariano). Devoted father of Tanner, Carly, and Morgan. Loving son of George J. Ruppert, Sr. and Christina Ruppert (nee Auterson). Dear brother of Tracey Romero (Josh). Son-in-law of Bette Valentino (Dan) and the late Joseph Mariano. Brother-in-law of Jodie Mariano. Adoring uncle of Connor Gregory, Collin Gregory (Nikki), Cade Gregory and Alexis Jo Mariano. George also leaves behind his close friends, Greg, Chuck, Mike and Bobby.

At the request of the family, services are being held privately.
