I was saddened to hear about Mike's passing. I was lucky to be a fraternity brother of Mike's at Purdue. I remember fondly all the fun and laughter that Mike brought with him werever he went. I consider myself lucky to have known him and thankful for the time I had with Mike at Phi Kappa Theta. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

hello connie and family.
i am very sorry to hear of
mike's passing and am
equally sorry not to be able to attend his service.
Mike was special.
He was someone with a great passion for life and someone who made life long friends (whether he knew it or not).
I had the privilege of knowing mike in his first years at
purdue. I'm not the only one
who will say that our finest years there were associated (and shared) with mike. we
journeyed to elberton with him and shared life together as we split off into our own pathways.
i'm sitting here at o'hare airport
in quiet disbelief thinking about
you and your family, and
hoisting one in mike's honor. i hope that you will be able to
celebrate mike's life for the
great personality and character
he was and had.
my memories are already in
celebration of a great guy....

Dear Connie and family. I am saddened to learn of Mike's passing and my thoughts are with you all as you deal with this terrible loss. I truly feel that anyone who had the pleasure to know Mike was truly fortunate and better off for the experience. Mike was my Phi Kap Little Brother who had such a big heart to help others and an even bigger personality. We all shared many great times and it is the memories of those times that I will hold dear. He was a great man that will be truly missed.

To the entire Krupp family...
I apologize for not being able to attend Mike's services. But that doesn't mean that my heart is not heavy at the loss of a wonderful cousin. I have great memories... both childhood and adulthood. He will truly be missed. The family circle will remain with a void that can never be replaced. My love, prayers and thoughts are with you not just today... but for days to come. I love you all. Hugs, hugs, and more hugs.

Mike was a good man - I have worked with Mike since 1998 on V-22 and H-1 simulators. He was an optimist and picked us up at times when we needed to be uplifted on our engineering teams. Mike always had a smile and a great sense of humor that made me laugh - Mike was a friend. Connie and family are in my prayers.

Connie and family, it was with shock and sorrow that I heard today about Mike's passing. Mike was one of 8 men, who lived in a tiny called Terry Courts in 1973, who became pledge brothers at Phi Kappa Theta fraternity at Purdue in the class of 1977. Mike was such a big happy kid, so pure and innocent. It is tough to hear the news, but my sincerest of condolences to your family. Pat Owens, Solon, OH

My condolences to Mike's family. A number of us whom worked for Mike speak fondly of those times here at Boeing (a.k.a. McDonnell Douglas). I for one will always remember Mike, his kind words and outgoing personality.

Dear Connie and family, I am so very sorry to hear this sad news. We had such good times back in the 80s, especially at Pax River where Mike and I owned a boat together, Mike was always so positive and upbeat and was fun to be around. Connie, you probably didn't know that I lost Kathy to cancer over a year ago. The feeling of loss never quite goes away, but when you are surrounded by family and friends, you will learn that life goes on and can be good again, in time.

Mike and I worked together on many V22 Flight Training Systems. I appreciated his efforts and expertise but mostly enjoyed his company and friendship. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Dear Connie Krupp and family:
Mike was one of my fraternity brothers at Purdue. Although it has been many years since we last saw one another or spoke, Mike was one of the very best guys in our fraternity. A super big heart and great sense of humor, he'd do anything for his "brothers." Mike was a great guy, and we send our sincere condolences.

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Mike. He was my roommate at the fraternity at Purdue and a good friend. I will always remember his outgoing friendly personality and his love for life. I will miss and always remember Mike, and I am sure he is now with the Lord.

Condolences to the family of a great childhood friend. Played baseball and football with Mike from jr high til HS graduation and was his long snapper for many field goals and PATs. But more than anything Mike was a loyal classmate, team mate, but most of all friend

Mrs Krupp and Family:
Mike was a fraternity brother back at Purdue in the mid seventies. We were shocked to hear of his passing.
While a lot of time has passed since then, and distance and pursuit of careers have often precluded keeping in touch, Mike will always be a big part of many happy memories we all have of our time together at Purdue.
Our prayers are with your family at this time.
