ALLEN KAUPP December 2, 1978 ~ October 16, 2020 It is with great sadness that the family of Allen James Kaupp announce his passing on Friday, October 16, 2020. Allen is survived by his wife, Roseanne and sons, Creston and Roane. Also grieving his loss are his parents, Joan and Jim Kaupp; siblings, Celeste (Doug) Murphy, Cameron (Crista Kolter) Kaupp, Kenton (Jackie Fry) Kaupp, Galen (Erin) Kaupp, Olivia (Steven) Blair; numerous nieces and nephews as well as many extended family members and friends. Allen was born in Fort McMurray and moved with his family to Medicine Hat at the age of three. After graduating from McCoy High School, he received training as an Emergency Medical Technician and worked in that capacity for a number of years in Alberta and the Northwest Territories. He then settled in Redcliff with Rosie and their young family. Allen also worked in the oil and gas industry and later on as a truck driver. In addition, he also served as a Volunteer Firefighter with the Redcliff and Box Springs Fire Departments. Allen and Rosie were fond of adventure and that included a love of travel. Some destinations were Southeast Asia, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Cuba, Eastern Europe, Dominican Republic, and Costa Rica. Allen had a unique sense of humour which he loved to combine with his talent for writing. Everyone was soundly entertained with his stories of travel adventures and a highlight was when his siblings were being “roasted” at their wedding reception. He was an enthusiast of the outdoors and his favourite activities included family camping trips, fishing, and hunting. He was also quite creative with his barbeque and smoker. One of his latest quests was to continue to master his fly rod and to get his boys excited about fly fishing as well. Rest Peacefully, Allen, in Jesus’ comforting embrace. The Funeral Mass will be a private family celebration at Holy Family Parish with Fr. Rodel Abanto, celebrant with Allen’s uncle, Deacon Roger Reilander assisting. Interment will follow at Hillside Cemetery. If friends so desire, memorial donations in Allen’s name may be made directly to the Canadian Mental Health Association, 204 – 1865 Dunmore Road S.E., Medicine Hat, Alberta, T1A 1Z8.

JOHN EDWARD (JACK) SIMPSON AUGUST 15, 1924 – OCTOBER 17, 2020
Dad quietly slipped away to reunite in Heaven with Celia, his beloved wife and soul mate for 46 years. Celebrating Jack’s remarkable life are daughter Sandra Simpson-Reiss (Jacques) and son Tom Simpson (Carol), grandchildren Lisa, Jonah and Kirstin and great grandchildren Jason, Nicholas and Sydney. Dad was born in Liverpool, England, forever proud of his Scouser heritage. A quick witted but private and very humble man, he lived his faith every day and always put others first. He was generous to a fault with his time & money but always shied from the spotlight. A child of the Depression, he joined the merchant marine in 1938 at age 14 and spent the next 15 years sailing the world, accumulating many interesting stories. He came ashore for the final time in Canada and settled in Toronto where Celia caught his eye and won his heart! After a charming courtship, they were married at St. Patrick’s Church, Toronto, on June 28, 1952, with a small reception on Center Island. The family soon grew to include Tom and Sandra. Family moves to New Market, Thessalon, Blind River and Sault Ste Marie followed due to Dad’s catering career. In 1964, they began a three year lay missionary assignment to Africa that stretched to seven years in Namibia and Zimbabwe. They returned to Canada, eventually settling in Niagara Falls where Dad worked for Correctional Services until retirement. Dad was an active member of the Knight’s of Columbus for many years, volunteered countless hours at the Community Kitchen and was an active Big Brother in Niagara Falls. In 1992, he received the Governor General’s commemorative medal recognizing his significant contribution to the community. In 1996, he received the Nissan of Canada award for community service, one of five recipients recognized in Canada. (Dad would have felt most uncomfortable “broadcasting” these achievements but we felt it was entirely appropriate to share with you dear readers!) During retirement, a large part of Dad’s life involved patiently and compassionately caring for our mother Celia who passed away in 1998 from Parkinson’s related complications. Dad relocated to Toronto with Sandra then Lacombe and Medicine Hat with Tom. His final home was at the Cypress View lodge, Medicine Hat, where he never missed an opportunity to praise the facility and the many wonderful people who took such great care of him. A private family mass will be celebrated at St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church, (238 – 2nd Avenue N.E.) On Saturday, October 24, 2020. Graveside service and interment of his ashes will be held in Niagara Falls, Ontario, in the Spring 2021. Good bye and God bless Dad, give Mom a big hug for us. You’ll always be in our memory. In lieu of flowers, please direct any donations to the Parkinson’s Association of Canada.
