Thomas Kupfer Obituary

Thomas Peter Kupfer, better known as Tom Kupfer, was a friend to many people. He was born in Kenosha Wisconsin & went to St. Joseph High School. He was a journalism major, graduating from Marquette University. He also studied Business Data processing at Carl Sandburg College & became a technical consultant at TPK Technologies, Inc.

Tom liked good things. Good books, good talk, good food, good sports teams, good red wine, & good looking women. He enjoyed riding a good motorcycle - Harley-Davidsons. He owned four Harleys. Tom traveled all over the country on his Harleys. Tom also visited places all over the world. He liked learning about new things, but he also relished history. Gulfport gave Tom pleasure.

Tom packed a lot of living in the years God gave him. He knew many things and many people. He will be missed.

I share memories of the first 40,000 miles I put on my bike riding around US with you. We packed a lot of destinations in a short amount of time.

I´m sure you´re riding from one end of Heaven to the next to learn all about.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Tom was always on a new adventure, enjoying the outdoors and supporing live music. He watched Paul play many times at O'maddys. We're glad our paths crossed here in Gulfport.
