Larry Stephen Rupp

July 21, 1948 - June 25, 2015

Larry Stephen Rupp, age 66, lost his valiant three-year battle with cancer and passed away on Thursday, June 25th, 2015. He was born on July 21, 1948 in Alameda CA to Garrett and Beverly (Frazier) Rupp. Larry grew up in Napa and graduated from Napa High School. Larry bravely fought for our country during two tours of duty in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War and was a proud member of the Safeside Association, his air force unit from Vietnam. Larry and his wife Sue recently attended a Safeside reunion in Valdosta, GA at Moody Air Force Base where his unit re-activated after 9/11. After returning from war, Larry was a Napa Police officer for 23 years and then the co-owner of Stagecoach Express Wine Shipping Company for 17 years. Larry is survived by his wife and business partner, Sue Bailey; children, Stephanie, Donovan (Roscio), and Jeremy; stepchildren, Alison (Josh) Hollman and Samantha (Trevor Fewins) Tomkovicz; grandchildren, Christian, Anthony, and Haley; mother, Beverly; sister, Sue Della; and cousins, Bonnie Lopez and Nancy Long. Larry was blessed with many long time friends, loyal employees, and dedicated customers of Stagecoach Express. Their kindness has meant the world to his family during this difficult time. Larry will be laid to rest at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery in Dixon, CA with a private family service. A celebration of life is planned for later in the fall. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Larry’s name to The Wounded Warrior Project – www.woundedwarriorproject.org/donate or to the Safeside Association, 2834 Red Maple Drive, Katy, TX 77494.
