tling as much as he did a good old cigar. You could always find him out back tinkering around in his shops. You just had to follow the sound of Patsy Cline or Hank Williams playing on the old "8 track." Papa wore a smile on his handsome face his whole life and always had a story for anyone who would listen. His pockets were always full of candy for each of his grandkids. A child sees a papa through different eyes than an adult. With our papa we all saw him with love, laughter and a giving heart.
If you had the pleasure of knowing Eugene "Papa" Luper you loved him like your own "Papa". From his silly little winks that he always gave a pretty lady, to his infectious smile you knew Papa was one of a kind. Fly High Papa, your legacy is as charming as you always will be in our eyes.
He was greeted at Heaven's gates by his parents, Claude and Francis Luper; brothers, Maxwell Luper and Carl Luper; wife, Willie Jim Luper; and son, David Luper.
Among the many loved ones who can't wait to hug him once again are daughter, Patti Brown and husband, Ray; daughter-in-law, Bonnie Luper; seven grandchildren and their spouses; as well as 28 great-grandchildren, family and friends.
