Allen Krupa, 78, of West Caln Township, PA, passed away at his home on Monday, November 4, 2024. He was the husband of Donna Van Kempen for over 26 years. Born in Chicago, IL, he was the son of the late Stanley and Mary (Whifen) Krupa.
Allen graduated with a masters degree in business and worked for Arkright Corporation as an Assistant Vice President of the company. He had an affection for pot bellied pigs.
Allen loved gardening with both perennials and farm gardening.
He also loved to go to Longwood Gardens. We went many Christmas's to make sure we saw his favorite display of the Kid's Christmas Trees from area schools who won the Longwood tree decoration contest.
His favorite charity was the Ironwood Pig Sanctuary. They are a rescue for pot bellied pigs. Allen donated to them each month, plus he sponsored a pig named Dexter who was a problem child who found himself in trouble at times! I am posting his picture with Allen's obituary so you can see why he loved these guys.
Besides his wife he is survived by stepsons, Brian (Amy) Van Kempen, Kevin Van Kempen, and Christopher (Kayla) Van Kempen, six grandchildren, and siblings, Mickie Rieger( Paul ) of North Carolina and David Krupa of Chicago.
Funeral services will be private and at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Ironwood Pig Sanctuary, Post Office Box 35490, Tucson, AZ 85740-5490.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the Wilde Funeral Home of Parkesburg, PA. Online condolences can be posted at www.wildefuneralhome.com
