Paul Schupp Obituary
Born in Philadelphia, Paul spent his childhood there before moving to Chatham and then Wantage for 28 years, eventually settling in Lafayette four years ago.

He was also a member of Holy Counselor Lutheran Church in Vernon, where he enjoyed singing in the church choir.

Survivors include his beloved wife of 32 years, Barbara J. Mayers-Schupp; his sons John T. Dean and wife Alena, and Robert D. Schupp and wife Jessica; and his daughters Belinda L. Thonebe and husband Frederick, Tammy E. Thom, and Amanda M. Schupp and her fiancé Alfred Bermel.
He also is survived by his stepfather, Robert Buck, and his stepmother, Carol Schupp.

I remember the fun we used to have when we got together. I still picture Paul the way he looked then but he doesn't seem to have changed much over the years. I picture Robert the way he looked when he was 7 or 8.
He was always a good friend and I find it strange to think that he is gone.
I know Barbara is broken hearted and no words will change that.
You will always be on my mind.
Also, to our cousin Belinda, very sorry for your loss.

We were so sorry to hear of Pauls sudden passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with Barbara, his children, grandchildren and their families at this difficult time.
Paul was a light to his family and all who knew his ready smile and hearty laugh. He loved the LORD, and it was evident in how he lived his life. So we say goodbye for now, until we meet again.

Paul will be missed by many but not forgotten. When I married Paul's Mother Eleanor Kirsch Schupp in 1976, I gained not only a talented and wonderful wife but also a devoted and helpful son. On his many visits to Gaithersburg MD, he was always eager to help me take down trees or any other big project I was attempting.
His devotion to family will live on through them
