We Remember

JUPP, Leonard Warden “Len”

September 18, 1929 — December 22, 2024

Leonard Jupp, our Dad, Papa, and Great-Papa, passed away, peacefully, on December 22, 2024, at the age of 95. He was at home in the Village at Smith Creek in West Kelowna, BC. . Len was born on September 18, 1929, in Toronto, Ontario, to the late James & Jean (née Milligan) Jupp.

Len was predeceased by his best friend and loving wife of 65 years, Kaye (1932 – 2019), and his brother James R. Jupp (1925-2011). He leaves behind his daughter Susan (Michael) Cavaghan; his two grandchildren, Katie (James) Grassie and Brian (Kalsie) Cavaghan; along with four great-grandchildren, Parker & Wells Grassie and Charlotte & Avery Cavaghan.

Len was involved in several activities throughout his lifetime. He enjoyed canoeing, skiing, golfing, gardening, curling, cycling, and swimming — several of these activities were enjoyed with Kaye, who he met when he was 16 at the cottage on Lake Simcoe. They experienced many adventures together, including travelling to various destinations.

Len began his career in the family shoe business, which was over 100 years old, in Toronto. He also studied to be a draftsman and was employed in this trade for many years. His printing was impeccable from all of the blueprints he drew. He also worked for Simpson’s and the Bay. After he retired, he enjoyed helping at his son-in-law Michael’s Shell station.

Dad’s greatest pride and joy was his family. He loved seeing and hearing about their activities and achievements.

We, his family, would like to thank Dr. Larry Bobyn and all the staff at the Village at Smith Creek, for their excellent care of Len.

Len/Dad/Papa/Great-Papa: We will miss you very much, but we also feel how special it is for you to have Christmas with Kaye/Mom/Nana/Great-Nana.
