OBITUARY
Arnold “Kup” Mankoff, age 96.
Beloved husband of the late Miriam Ruth Mankoff nee Onixt. Loving father of Marla (the late Peter) Backes, Barbara (the late Michael) Fishman and Adam (Cheryl) Mankoff. Proud grandfather of Evan (Kat) Backes, Liza Backes, Sam Fishman, Julia Fishman, Ian Mankoff and Lane Mankoff.
It was an 80-year love affair between our father & mother who were married 71 years. Saying goodbye to her just a few years ago was difficult for Kup and our family. And now our family says goodbye to the most incredible and beautiful person inside and out. We all have countless wonderful memories about him that it’s hard to even recall them all. His presence was always contagious in the best way possible with his sense of humor, and his love. Everyone always wanted to be around him because he brought so much joy into everyone’s lives. He will be missed!
