Alan Lupo

Dear Caryl,
Time has not diminished the memories of Alan. Please know that we still think of both of you with wonderful memories.

We just found some pictures of Alan dancing at our sons wedding, and his pure joy made us smile.

I loved Alan's dogedness, intelligence, pugnaciousness, affection for the authentic. His Liberty's Chosen Home, which I edited and comissioned at Little, Brown informed me in lasting ways about the Boston I Iived in for my first 60 years. I can't imagine Boston without him.

To the family of Alan Lupo:

Like several who have written before me on these pages, I first met Alan Lupo while I was a college student. In my case, I was a Northeastern co-op at WGBH-FM and he was, well, one of "The Reporters."

Although I didn't have the pleasure of working with him, I did get to see him in the halls of 125 Western Avenue. And, as an admirer of his work I was, needless to say, quite pleased when he would say hi to me in passing.

To him, I am...

Years ago, I was an lowly intern at the Globe Editorial Page. Alan was always so lovely, gracious and kind to me. I remember he always spoke so affectionately of his wife and children - they were his whole life.
My condolences.

Dear Caryl,

I just heard of Al's passing from my brother Lou. Although Al was a few years older than I, I came to know him through his association with Lou. Many years ago, you guys signed a copy of your book, "For Better, For Worse" for my wife Marjorie's xmas gift. Our thoughts go out to you and your children. Al was a true gentleman, and he will be missed.

the channel 2 news program that Alan Lupo
led remains the "best of Boston"in my
humble opinion. Alan was intelligent and
humorous - a win, win combination.

Dear Alyssa,

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your father. I loved meeting him and your mom when we were in school. They so clearly adored you and they were funny and cool.

Please give my sympathies to your mother and your whole family. His impact on your life will never be forgotten and so he will live on.

Much love from your old college roomie.

Caryl, Alyssa and Steven,
Reading all of these wonderful memories of Alan brings sadness and joy for me. I loved him as well. His personality and smile will remain in my heart forever. God Bless you all. I will never forget our journey in Wales so many years ago. Caryl, I thank you and Alan for the gift of that experience.
Much Love, Marguerite Bova
