Joseph J. Krupper, Jr., 75, of Lewiston, NY, passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 10, 2023, surrounded by his beloved family. Born in Vandergrift, PA, he was the son of the late Joseph Sr. and Carmella (Gallovich) Krupper; and the loving husband of Bonnie (Laurie) Krupper.
Joseph was raised in Vandergrift where he attended local schools and graduated from high school. In 1966, he enlisted in the United States Air Force and proudly served until his honorable discharge from active duty in 1970. Following his discharge, he moved to the area and was employed at the 107 Air National Guard in Niagara Falls for many years until his retirement.
Joseph enjoyed taking care of his Corvette in his younger years, and also loved flight simulators, as well as tending to his vegetable garden. Above all, he centered his life around his cherished wife and children.
In addition to his wife of 48 years, Mr. Krupper is survived by his children, Christopher (Martha Turman) Krupper and Jennifer (Cal Fenertyl) Krupper; his siblings, MaryAnn Krupper, Joann Krupper, Carol (Jim) Schrecengost, Annette Krupper and their close family friend, Barb Stephens.
