Mickey Krupa was remembered in an article written in March 2011 by Katie Kerwin McCrimmon ’87 for HealthPolicy Solutions.org. Katie had gone to the Denver Hospice Care Center to learn about end-of-life decisions, and met Mickey there. He had a cancerous tumor in his spinal column and was receiving care for severe pain. “I expected to meet older people,” Katie wrote. “I didn’t expect to meet Krupa. We spent a short time together and he changed my perspective. Krupa spoke candidly about his views on the politics of dying, and shared his fears that his boys were just the wrong age to cope with losing their dad — too old not to be devastated, and too young to have the maturity that might make such a loss easier to understand.” Mickey died on Feb. 17, 2011.
