Luanne and I were saddened to hear of Mike's passing...sorry we couldn't be there for his memorial as we're down in south Texas for the winter.
So many great memories of Mike....all the years of his service with our St. Vincent de Paul group; the baseball games at OLGH in the 1970s; going to a Notre Dame football game together at Soldiers Field in 1994 and always watching ND games on TV every fall. Luanne always loved meeting him in the chapel where he'd be praying his rosary.
Our prayers and best wishes will be with the family....at last Mike is again with his beloved Ellie.

Dear Krupo Family,

Our love to you all... Pa Krupo was a wonderful example to many generations of our family. He shared his love, his wisdom and his tenderness with all of us. And he could always make us LAUGH what a wonderful sense of humor he had.
We know when you lost the love of your life, your sweet wife, you lived to be with her again and I believe you are. Good bye for now to a wonderful man.

John and Barb, I am sorry to hear of your loss. Though it has been a few years since my public accounting days, I still remember the fun and lightheartedness you brought. May your memories of your Dad bring you comfort at this sad time.

When I was 13 years old "Pa" slammed the door in my face because he heard some rumors about my behaviors which made me unacceptable for his son. Years later I became his doctor, and he trusted me with his life. I always found great irony in that.
Mike has always been Pa" to me. We had a warm, tender relationship which I will always miss. There's a special place in my heart where Pa will reside for as long as I live.
My deepest sympathies to all of the Krupo family for the loss of a special person. You are in my prayers.

I will miss Mike's humor and teasing him about the Cardinals. I loved his stories about Gordan park. Please know your family is in my prayers.
