David E. Krupp

David Edward Krupp age 79 died Tuesday, December 31, 2019 at his daughter’s home surrounded by his family. He was born in Grand Rapids, MI on March 18, 1940 to Glenn and Frances (Conard) Krupp. Jan and Dave fostered for 35 years, taking care of 125 babies for D.A. Blodgett- St. John’s. He enjoyed watching the Red Wings, NASCAR and going to Berlin Raceway. Dave worked in auto parts sales at Resner’s Automotive on Bridge St. and Auto Value on Kirtland for over 50 years and retired this past summer. When computers came into existence Dave thought he would have to quit his job, but he became the fastest two-fingered typist ever seen. He loved swimming with his grandchildren in the backyard pool and going to their sporting events. Dave was so genuinely nice, happy and helpful with everyone and everything. He will be missed by many. Dave was devoted to his wife Jan who died in September. He was preceded in death by his brother Glenn, and brother-in-law Woodrow L. Schultz. He is survived his children; Kelly (Tom) Dawson, Todd Krupp, Aaron (Erica) Krupp; grandchildren, Danielle, Cassie and Kori Dawson, Megan (Ross) Vanderlugt, Jordan, Austin, Nathan, Alicia, Kendall, Alianna, Aubrey and Abigail Krupp; brother Pat (Nancy) Krupp; sister-in-law Phyllis Schultz, many cousins, nieces and nephews.
