Hugh J. Stouppe, 82, formerly of Westboro and Norwood, MA, died early Friday, July 8, 2016 in the University of MA Memorial Medical Center in Worcester surrounded by his family.
Mr. Stouppe, son of the late Robert and Beatrice (Middleswarth) Stouppe, was born on August 20, 1933 in Marblehead, MA. He was a retired self-employed painter and home improvement specialist and owner of hardware stores in New Hampshire. He was a proud Army veteran of the Korean War.
Hugh was an avid fisherman and loved boating in many New England ponds and lakes. He was profoundly proud of his children and grandchildren. He struggled for years with health issues, but always remained good spirited, rarely complained, and had a sense of humor right up to the last moment of his life. The decisions he made were brave and selfless.
He leaves his family: son Hugh Jackson and wife Rose and grandchildren Ali and Ian of Lake Bluff, IN; daughter Judi Bean and husband Dana and grandchildren Kyle and Cassidy of Myrtle Beach, SC; and son Douglas Conrad and wife Kelley and grandchildren Regan and Ryan of Upton. He also leaves his former wife and dearest friend, Sylvia (Berglund) Rivard of Upton; two brothers, Robert of Deland, FL and David of New Bern, NC; as well as many nieces and nephews.
