James F. Cuzzupe passed away in the hospital with the peace of God at his side on December 27, 2020, of Pennsauken, NJ, at age 88. Beloved Husband of Stella Marlys Cuzzupe. Devoted father of sons James (Lynn), Joseph(Eileen), John (Karen), and daughter, Martha Brown (Daniel), grandchildren; James (Claire), Jason (Lauren), Sophia, Jesse (Kate), Madelyn, Jacob, Kelsey, John, Chloe, Daniel, Christopher, Alexandra, and Katherine, and great granddaughter, Mikaela. Pre-deceased by 3 brothers and 3 sisters, survived by Brother Joseph Cuzzupe (Jean), and many nieces and nephews. James served 2 years in the US Army and 32 dedicated years in the New Jersey State Police. He developed his detective skills throughout his career and rose through the ranks of the NJSP retiring as the Troop A Criminal Investigation Officer. Jim, Joe, John and Martha were the recipients of his detective skills as they were interrogated most often especially when coming home late at night. His hobbies included meticulously kept flower and vegetable gardens, picking figs off his fig tree, a love for cooking, physical fitness especially playing racquetball, playing poker and gin rummy, many trips to the Borgata Casino with Stella, attending all his childrens’ and grand childrens’ sporting events. Most cherished were all the occasions when he had his family at the dining room table. He served them with his delicacies; most especially his lasagna, meatballs, lemon chicken, and peppers and eggs. There was no greater satisfaction for him then when he was surrounded by his family at that dining room table. Relatives and Friends are invited to attend his viewing on Thursday (12/31) from 9:30-11:30 am at Christ our Light Church, 402 Kings Highway, Cherry Hill, NJ, with Catholic mass to follow at 11:30am. There will be no interment after the mass. Masks and social distancing will be required.
