Krupinski, Dennis J. "Denny" 79, baptized into the hope of Christ's resurrection, Friday, September 20, 2024. He was born in St. Louis, a son of Anthony and Frances (nee Mackiewicz) Krupinski. Denny was a proud Vietnam veteran serving in the U.S. Navy, and in his later years was honored to participate in Central Missouri Honor Flight. He was a retired real estate agent, after which he pursued more of the activities he loved. Denny loved the outdoors, hunting, camping and trout fishing. He was a volunteer for Project Healing Waters, a group which helps veterans heal through the art of fly fishing. Before Covid, Denny would volunteer weekly at Jefferson Barracks Hospital to teach tying flies and fly rod casting, and he participated in day trips planned for the veterans to practice their skills. Denny was also a talented woodworker. He was a member of Woodworkers Guild of America and The International Wood Collectors Society in which he honed his skills and shared his knowledge.

Denny was the beloved husband for 32 years of Margaret Ann "Margie" Krupinski (nee Pavlik); dear father of Dan Krupinski, Matt Krupinski, and Melanie (Nathan) Bath; loving grandfather of Cody (Kalee) Krupinski, Ryan and Ely Krupinski, and Olivia Bath; and a proud great-grandfather of Emery Krupinski. He is survived by his sister Pat (Hank) Silva, and Dave (late Donna) Krupinski. He was preceded in death by his parents, sister Virginia (GiGi), and brothers Dick and Tom. He was a beloved uncle to many nieces and nephews.

Denny had a love of God and life, and he never met a stranger. His jokes, stories and laughter will be missed by all.
