Ralph L. Stegall

Ralph Lewis Stegall, lovingly known as “PopPop”, passed away on August 11, 2025, at home in Haddonfield, NJ at the age of 90. He was born on September 17, 1934, in Charleston, West Virginia. He and his wife Joan moved to Haddonfield in 1956.

Lewis graduated from West Virginia Tech with a BS in Electrical Engineering, and earned an MS in Electrical Engineering from the University of PA. His long career started at the Moorestown, RCA plant, took him to Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands, and back to NJ, where he retired from Lockheed Martin. He worked extensively on the Multiple Object Tracking Radar (MOTR). After retirement he provided computer and bookkeeping services to South Jersey Physician Associates for over two decades.

A tennis player and runner for many decades, he was a proud finisher of the Honolulu Marathon. He cherished his trips to Hawaii, sharing his love of the islands with his family.

Lewis is survived by his wife Joan (nee Clark) of 71 years, children Jennifer (Greg) McClure, Tara (Todd) Rineman, and Jeffrey Stegall. He was a proud grandfather to Matthew (Ashley) McClure, Ellen (Michael) Davenport, and Casey Rineman. He adored his great-grandchildren Gregory, Margot and Camilla McClure, and Edie and Lucy Davenport. Ralph is also survived by his sister in law Jill (Rodney) McIntyre.

His warmth, good nature and southern accent will be greatly missed.
