A good friend

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor, 

Dwain Kuper was my friend. We spent a lot of time together. 

A lot of people called him “Teddy Bear.” I called him “Doctor Kuper.” He had a gift to be able to repair anything. He kept my 8N Ford tractor and silage wagon going for many years. 

To me, he always had a special look, charisma or character that set him apart from other people. 

He loved driving school bus and taking kids to games. He enjoyed art-making jewelry, painting, and collecting old guns. He enjoyed a good cigar. When working close, most people put their glasses on. Dwain would take his off. 

He was a big man in many ways and will always be special to me. If you never met Dwain, you missed knowing a wonderful person. 

If there is a heaven, he will make it a better place.

Sincerely,

Bill Hasek
