                       IN MEMORY OF LEO A. HUPPE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHRIS PAPPAS

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 23, 2021

  Mr. PAPPAS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Leo A. Huppe, a 
World War II hero and active member of the seacoast community who 
passed away in late October at the age of 96. Born on February 25, 
1925, in Laconia and residing in Rochester for more than 75 years, Leo 
was a long-time New Hampshire resident and an honorable member of our 
community. At the time of his passing, Leo was a beloved husband, 
father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great grandfather.
  As a young patriot, Leo went above and beyond the call of duty in his 
service to his country. Among the many medals, ribbons, and badges he 
received for his heroic actions throughout World War II in the Asiatic 
Pacific, Leo was awarded the Silver Star and the World War II Victory 
Medal, as well as the Asiatic Pacific Theatre Medal and the Philippine 
Liberation Ribbon.
  After his service, Leo worked diligently as a self-employed carpenter 
before entering a well-deserved retirement in 1987 with his wife, 
Evelyn, with whom he shared over 75 anniversaries before passing.
  On behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire's First Congressional 
District, I share my condolences to Leo's daughter, four grandchildren, 
eight great-grandchild, and great-great grandson. As we recognize Mr. 
Huppe, I ask my colleagues in the House of Representatives to join me 
in honoring his rich life and legacy.
