ALAN F. KRUPP M.D.

KRUPP, Alan F. MD Age 83, of Newton, MA (formerly of Manchester, CT), died April 16, 2020 from Covid-19. Alan was born in Wallingford, CT on May 16, 1936. He graduated from Trinity College and New York Medical College. In the mid-1960s, Alan served two years in the Navy as a doctor at Camp LeJeune in North Carolina. From 1968 until his retirement in 2001, Alan worked as a family physician in Manchester, where he cared for so many, rounded on his patients at the hospital, and made house calls at patient homes and convalescent facilities. Alan served as head of the medical staff at Manchester Memorial Hospital and spent countless hours working to improve the quality of care for patients of ECHN. Alan adored his wife Judy and together they raised four children. Family and concern for others were always the center of their lives. Even after his retirement, Alan remained an avid learner and traveled extensively. Alan wrote essays and poetry and studied Jewish teachings, quoted Longfellow and Tennyson from memory, and loved thoughtful discussions on almost any topic. He remained physically active throughout his life and completed his first century bike ride at age 80. Alan's unique blend of optimism, perseverance, thoughtfulness and impish humor lifted everyone's spirits. Alan was predeceased by his parents, Edith and Harry Krupp, of Wallingford and Manchester; his sister Nancy Krupp, of Manchester, his wife Judy-Arin Krupp, of Manchester, and his son-in-law Roland Cheyney, of Acton, MA.
