Obituary

4 August 2005

Obituary: The obituary for Theodore was recorded on 4 August 2005. [from the NewsTimes.com, Danbury, CT; Thursday, August 04, 2005]

Theodore George Ruopp, 91, of Hawleyville, passed away July 30, 2005, in Chicago, Ill., where he was residing with his daughter Kathleen Ruopp. He was born in 1914 to J. George Ruopp and Anna (Schulze) Ruopp.

Ted was a lifelong member of Immanuel Lutheran Church and held positions on many of the church boards and was active in the Lutheran Laymen's League. He attended Immanuel Lutheran School and Danbury High School. Following high school, he joined Sipperly Artesian Well Company as a well driller. He was a member Battery D of the 192nd Field Artillery of the National Guard and after the attack on Pearl Harbor, joined the U.S. Navy and served in the Pacific Theater as Aviation Chief Machinist Mate. After the war, he remained in the Navy and participated in the atomic bomb tests at the Bikini Atolls while on the USS Shangri La. This had a dramatic impression on him and he enrolled in Purdue University where he studied physics and botany and later became a Connecticut Civil Defense Radiological Officer.

Ted later returned to Danbury and took over the operation of Sipperly Artesian Well Company with his brother Ernie. He continued to run the company with the participation of several of his brothers, nephews and son Jerry well into his seventies. He also served as an officer in the Connecticut Well Drillers Association.

Ted was an avid history buff, loved working outdoors in his garden and yard and thrived on lively discussions.

He is survived by his daughter Kathleen Ruopp of Chicago, Ill.; son, James Ruopp and his wife Helga of Hawleyville; son, Jerry Ruopp and his wife Jean of New Fairfield; daughter, Fibian Judith Ruopp of Albuquerque, N.M.; two brothers: Paul and his wife Augusta and Frederick and his wife Anita, eight grandchildren, four great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Ted is predeceased by his wife Lydia (Behrens) Ruopp and brothers and sisters: Martin Ruopp, Dorothea Grube, Christa Lang, Ernest Ruopp, Helen Ruopp, Lillian Bardo, Edward Ruopp and Walter Ruopp.

The family will receive friends at the Cornell Memorial Home, 247 White St. in Danbury, Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. Funeral services will be held Saturday at 10 a.m. at Immanuel Lutheran Church, 18 Clapboard Ridge Road in Danbury. Cremation will take place at the convenience of the family.

Memorial contributions may be made in his memory to the George & Anna Ruopp Memorial Scholarship for Immanuel Lutheran School, 18 Clapboard Ridge Road, Danbury, CT 06811.
