On the afternoon of August 24, 2015, well known Ralston resident Graydon Roupp,82 passed away quietly at Loyalsock Nursing Home in Montoursville.
Born October 22, 1933, he was the son of Welford and Martha (Botsford) Roupp. Graydon was employed for several years as a machine operator for Textron Corp. He enjoyed playing cards and watching golf and bowling on TV. In earlier years he was an avid bowler and bowled with one of the leagues in Canton. Known for his sense of humor, his often repeated self-assessment, "I’m fat and sassy," was an inaccurate description of his physical frame, but a perfect description of his personality.
