Bob was a hard worker always - beginning with his job with the local dairy when he was young until selling appliances for Sears at 79 years old. He took pride in his work ethic and in providing for his family. Bob & Dee Dees second child, Robert L Lupo, came along June 4, 1964. Lupos Clothing opened in 1966 and Bob quickly learned about a business that was new to him. He built Lupos into a thriving fixture in Caribou. Everyone knew that distinctive commercial tag line, Mmmm, That Lupos look. Bob always dressed sharp | whether working with a jacket and tie or just going out to dinner he always looked good. He was important to many people | he helped a lot of folks, but always without fanfare. Bob was a wonderful cook and he enjoyed filling any house he lived in with the wonderful smells of sauce, chicken wings, and so many mouthwatering dishes! He loved cooking for his family. Like one of his favorite artists | Frank Sinatra | Dad had a wonderful 2nd act | after he and Dee Dee divorced in 1990, he married again | to Michele Ouellette. Her kids, Michael, Peter & Catherine were added to the family. Dad & Michele had many wonderful, loving years together. In fact, they celebrated their 25th anniversary in 2017. He continued to work hard and built a home with Michele in Jacksonville, FL which they both loved. Bob was predeceased by his parents, Louis & Alice Lupo, as well as a beloved uncle, Bobby Richal.
