Ronald G. Cupps

1935 - 2023

Ronald G. Cupps, 88, of Murrysville, passed away Friday, Nov. 3, 2023, at his home. He was born May 13, 1935, in Philadelphia, son of the late Herbert and Helen (Gerhart) Cupps. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of 49 years, Judith Ann (Brennan) Cupps. Ron, known to most as "Pap," retired from the active-duty Army in 1963 as a specialist missile crewman. This was followed by a 40-plus year career at Robicon. His family was rooted in Murrysville, beginning in 1963 when he built his house. Pap was always invested in the lives of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, attending as many events for them as he could. In his later years, Pap started every morning with a game of solitaire. He enjoyed trips to Wal-Mart to ride around in the electric buggy and joke with strangers. When not spending time with his family and playing games of UNO, his evenings were spent watching Pittsburgh sports and old western movies. He is survived by two children, Randy (Cindee) Cupps and Susan Howard; five grandchildren, Melissa Cupps, Jennifer (Mark) Lookhart, Carrie (Jack) MacDonald, Amy Cupps and James Heffelfinger; seven great- grandchildren, Christian, Jonathan, Brady, Bella, Abigail, Aliona and Mia; niece, Jill Brennan; and numerous other nieces and nephews.
