While working at Burlington Northern Lupe met Lavern Costa. God blessed them with four beautiful children.Lupe enjoyed fishing, hunting, watching the stock car races, boxing and most of all he loved to take his Pride and Joy, Abelina Renee to the Thursday night fights. Lupe also enjoyed spending time with all of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Lupe had the kind of sense of humor that could make a rock crack up. For anyone that just met him or knew him for years, you knew that he wouldnt let you walk away from him without cracking a joke. Lupe had a very big heart and was always willing to lend a helping hand. His strength was what most defined him, hence his nickname “Super Lup”.
