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.
