Raymond Krupo

Raymond Michael Krupo, age 92, of Wayne, passed away peacefully at home with the comfort of his loving family by his side.

Ray was a US Navy Veteran of WWII having served at the Naval Training Center in Great Lakes, Illinois and aboard the USS Colorado-BB45. He was Honorably Discharged and was awarded the World War II Victory Medal and the Asiatic Pacific Area Ribbon.

He will be remembered as a man with a passion for caring for others.  He was a hospital administrator with the New York health & Hospital Corporation in New York City and for many years donated his time and talents in Israel to help those less fortunate.  For many years up until he was 88 years old, he was blessed to travel all around the world. Amongst all places traveled, his favorite place was his home on the bay in Lavallette, NJ. He loved the beach, crabbing in his backyard and most of all when his grandchildren and guests visited in the summer. He was a true New York Giants fan and a season ticket holder for 60+ years.

Ray met the love of his life Eileen and married her on March 3, 1957 in Long Island City and resided in Wayne, NJ. After twenty-eight years of loving and devoted marriage Eileen passed in 1985.

He was the father of Maria, Lisa (Jon), Cindy (Mark), Charles, Raymond, and Teddy. His greatest joy in life were his six grandchildren; Marie, Mark Jr., Katie and Helene Salerno, and James and Jon Lamp. He is also survived by one sister Penny Trapp and was predeceased by his six other siblings.

Those inclined to make a memorial donation in Raymond’s memory are asked to consider St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
