RIC (ULRIC) HUPE Ric (Ulric) Hupé, of Surrey, BC, died unexpectedly on June 14, 2017, at the age of 79. Ric is survived by his wife, Louise (née Clark); children, Claude, Jo-Ann, Jacqueline, Carmelle (Tom) and Richard; stepchildren, Susan (Shawn), Bobby (Marina), Darlene (Mikael), Debra and David; 10 grandchildren; 10 stepgrandchildren; six great-grandchildren; sisters, Simone and Noëlline (Eugene); and foster-sisters, Martha and Vicky. He was predeceased by his first wife, Evelyne (née Curtaz); sisters, Jeanne, Doris and Lucille; brother Roger; parents, Jean and Clémence; stepdaughter, Donna; and stegrandchild, Wilder. Ric was born in St. Boniface, MB on April 18, 1938 to Jean (Bob) and Clémence (née Trudeau) Hupé. Having moved to British Columbia in 1967, he spent the vast majority of his life living on the west coast in British Columbia's lower mainland, where he raised his family and built his business. Ric will be remembered and celebrated for his deep love of family and his enjoyment of music. While ever the consummate professional, he was also charmingly charismatic and well known for his teasing wit, and his grace on the dance floor. Ric was a man who was greatly loved, admired and respected, and will leave a very empty space in the lives of all who were fortunate enough to have known him. He will be deeply missed by his friends, family, and all who knew him. A Celebration of Life took place at the residential home on June 24, where friends and family were invited to attend.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be given to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada (www.heartandstroke.ca). Boot is Full - Toodooloo
