John Ralph Cugusi, age 90, of Mahanoy City, passed away peacefully under loving hospice care at Lehigh Valley Hospital – Schuylkill East, Pottsville after battling COVID-19.
He was born and raised in Shenandoah; the son of the late Salvatore and Mary Ann (Colosimo) Cugusi. Jack's love of his country brought him to proudly serve in the Army, stationed in the Far East. He later worked at Purolator, and the Sealy Corp. in Delano. Jack was a member of the former Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, Shenandoah.
A devoted son and brother, Jack was a happy, extraordinarily kind, and selfless man who was dedicated to caring for his family. Always there to lend a hand, his family and friends came first. His optimism was relentless, he always had a joke to share with the intent of putting a smile on your face. Jack had a genuine interest in whomever he met, but he adored his many nieces and nephews, especially his most recent grand niece and nephew, Isabella and Giovanni, and great-great-nephew Nikolai, who brought him so much joy in return.
Preceding him in death was his dear friend Aida Kalinock; two brothers, Carmen and Dominick Cugusi; four sisters, Jean Benashunas, Mary Hogan, Angelina Tite and Antoinette Opella.
Surviving are two brothers, Louis Cugusi of Mahanoy City and Joseph Cugusi and his wife Joanne of Frackville; and two sisters, Anna Gottstine of Shenandoah and Isabel Fornito of Conneticut; along with many beloved nieces, nephews and cousins.
Funeral services, with military honors will held privately at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cemetery, Shenandoah Heights.
