Michael E. Dupre

I just heard of your loss. I hope you are doing well. Jim R

I am sorry to hear of Mike's passing, though glad he had friends and family close. I remember well when the AAUP chapter agreed to give him the Distinguished Faculty Award. Recognizing the pressures to publish faced by younger faculty, Mike decided "if they can do it, I can do it." Working with Dante Scala and others he created a wholly new research program. That commitment to colleagues, dedication to excellence, and willingness to try new things made Mike an ideal recipient. I did not know him well as a person (he retired just as I got tenure), but he always had a smile, a joke, and advice whenever I saw him. I'm sorry for your loss.

I am so very surprised and sorry to hear of Mike's passing. We loved to see his smiling face in yoga and listen to his stories of family, travel and a life well lived. Our condolences to Fran and family. You are in our thoughts and prayers and we hope you find peace in your cherished memories of him.

Dupre Family--Over the years I had the pleasure of interacting with Mike from time to time during his workouts at Saint Anselm with Professor Sweetland. He was always wearing an infectious smile when he talked about his teaching days and even bigger when he spoke if his family. He never passed up a moment to tell a story about one of his children or an incident that took place while living next door to Adam Sandler.
His positivity was contagious and appreciated. He always made you feel like you were the center of the conversation and wanted to know how you were doing. May you all find comfort and support from family and friends around you. Thank you for sharing Mike with us.

To the Dupre Family, Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss of such a wonderful and vibrant man. I was a nursing student at St. A's who worked for Professor Dupre in the Sociology Department for three years and over the summers at St. A's and I had him for a professor a couple of times. I had the pleasure of typing that doctoral dissertation back in the days before computers existed and can chuckle about that now. He was always thoughtful, engaging with everyone he met and had such a great sense of humor. His children were all young then and I think Matthew was just two when I started working there and I felt like I knew them all because he talked about them so much. I have run into him in the grocery store and dentist over the years and it was always like the years had never passed when I saw him and he would catch up on life, his children and grandchildren and retirement. I can only imagine the lifetime of memories that all of you have to treasure of him. My thoughts are with all of you.

Fran and Family --- so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Fran and family, Thinking of you and your family, wishing you peace and comfort, I remember Mike as a big hearted wonderful person. Love your cousin Jackie Gajda Mulcahy

Fran and family, I am so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I only knew Mike from being one of my customers at Pappy's but over the years I thought of him and you Fran, as friends. I know I haven't seen you in a few weeks and I was worried but I was hoping my worries were unfounded. My deepest sympathy to Fran and family. It sounds like Mike has touched many lives, mine included.

To Fran and family: Sending sympathy and thoughts your way. Mike was such a nice man, and you must have heavy hearts with his passing. You all have great memories. Hold those close as you move forward. Thinking of you all, LHL

Dear Frania and family, no words can describe how sorry we are for your loss. May peace and comfort find you during this difficult time. Love, your cousin Joanna Nowak and family

Dear Fran and Family,

I am so sorry and saddened to hear of your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time

I am so very sorry to hear of Prof. Dupre's passing. As a nursing student at St. A's a few decades ago, I worked for him and his sociology department as my Work Study job for three of my years there. I will always remember his kindness and quick wit. You must have been very proud of him. My prayers are with all of you during this horribly difficult time.

Fran, please accept our deepest sympathies to you and the family. Mike was a tremendous member of the St. Anselm Faculty, an outstanding professor, a mentor, and a great friend to the Monier Family. Always upbeat and positive, he had a way of bringing people into a conversation. He was kind, considerate, and passionate about our nation & how we interact with others. He will be greatly missed, and I am saddened by the loss of his friendship and wise counsel. Our thoughts & prayers are with you and the family.

I am deeply sorry to hear of the passing of Mike Dupre. I was a sociology major and a student of his years ago (class of '94). I loved his classes because he had such a breadth of knowledge and enthusiasm for life. I learned so much from him academically. But more than that, Mike was always a champion for me on a personal level. He encouraged and supported me in my academic, career, and personal goals. Even years after I graduated, I would sometimes call him to check in or to seek his advice, and Mike was always ready to spend the time to do all that he could to help. I am so grateful for his generous mentorship. May he rest in peace. May he be with God. I am praying for him and for his family during this time of sorrow.

We were so surprised and saddened to read that Mike has died. He was a wonderful neighbor and always so vibrant. He was passionate about his family and his profession and I know you have many memories to cherish. My last with Mike was in the market and he'd forgotten his phone so I lent him mine so he could confirm his purchase. We had a good laugh and he had a great smile. Our deepest sympathy as you mourn him s loss and celebrate his life.

My sympathies to Mikes family. I did not know that he was ill. He was a wonderful person and always great to work with on the faculty for many years. May he Rest In Peace in the arms of the Lord.

So sorry to hear that my old roomie died--I will always remember those years at St. A's with fondness. My condolences to Fran and the family.

To the family: my deepest condolences. Mike was a good friend to me and I will always remember him with a smile on his face. I will offer Mass for Mike and keep all of you in my prayers.

I am very sorry to hear that my daughter's neighbor, Mike, has gone from us. My sincere condolences to the family, especially his wife. Often times when I visit my daughter and we would sit out in her sunny south facing driveway, Mike would come over to chat. He was such a friendly and kind man, I am truly sorry to hear of his untimely death. Sincerely, Brigitte Koren

So sorry to hear of Mike's passing -- I enjoyed getting to know him via exercise classes at the Y. I will keep Fran and the family in my thoughts and prayers.

Offering our sincere sympathies to your family. May you find comfort in beautiful memories of times shared together.
