To the Lupica Family:
I know most of you now that some years have passed since the begining of my relationship with Ann.
Having been to Bill's wake, and the funeral, or just exchanged some words with you, I was humbled by what I noted, and knew.
Both Bill, and me shared something in common in respect to our professions, we oftens times had interactions with people who encounterd a personal difficulty, sometimes bordering tragedy, at a minimum down on their luck. Often we shared mutual stories of our past in this regard.
It is this crossroad if you will, in the course of one's job, and another's human difficulty that made Bill Lupica that exceptional human, kind, and compassionate man, a man so exceptional, so dedicated, so commited to simply helping another, when all the world seemed to have failed him,or her.
It was this trait, one of many, and I think I can take the liberty to say, that made Bill exceptional at what his task was in this capacity, in a way that presented hope, and great dignity to that individual, seeking his counsel when all seemed to be hopeless.
Once, as a youth, a very special priest a man who took poor project kids to the country, me being fortunate to go, upon my start as a policeman in Boston several years ago, told me: "always remember a person's dignity in their hour of dificulty."
I always remembered this, and when I think of its meaning by example, I think of Bill Lupica.
Bill Lupica, a son, a father, a husband, a grandfather, a great human being, a World War Two Army Veteran, compassionate to all, especially those countless souls he did so much for in their time of great need has passed on, leaving his legacy, for us, for me lesser, to always be a stunning example of what can be done in one life.
I once noted a headstone in a cemetery, that had inscribed upon it: " Take all you can from this life, but leave more than you take."
Bill left us all, so much more than he ever could take.
And back to my earlier remarks, it was my notice that Bill's legacy lives on in all of you. All of you, successful in your own right, but, best of all...you have what made Bill so special, all those wonderful human traits we stive to seek in others, or achieve in our own lives.
The amazing tribute presented to your father, in his end, by so many, speaks volumes of the man, his deeds, his legacy, and to the countless people in his debt. All of you can be very proud of him.
I am both fortunate, honored, and humbled to have known your father. I hope he thought half as much of me as I thought of him.
Pax Bill

The news of Bills' passing is a very sad moment for Harry and I. We will always have wonderful memories of Bill and what he meant to us. Bill was a mentor to me during my days with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. He was always fair although many would disagree. I will never forget his kindness. He will remain in our prayers. May God bless each of you as you go on with your lives. Bill will remain with you always each time one of you share a special moment you had with him.

Please accept our sincere sympathy. Bill was such a wonderful gentleman, a true "people" person, a wonderful public servant concerned about the needs of people. Who can forget his wonderful sense of humor? May God bless you and may He meet all your needs always.
