Friedrich R. Crupe, 80, of Davidsonville, Md., passed away peacefully Tuesday, June 12, 2018.

He was born January 4, 1938, a son of Lester and Gladys Crupe, and grew up in Burgettstown.

Fred is survived by his loving wife, Christiane Waldkirch Crupe, and a brother and sister-in-law, Denver and Maria Crupe of Orlando, Fla.

He graduated cum laude from Washington & Jefferson College in 1959 and received his master’s degree from American University in 1970.

Fred served in the U.S. Army from 1959 to 1965 and was honorably discharged as a captain. After his military career, he worked in the public sector, mainly in the U.S. Departments of Commerce and State, focusing on international trade. During retirement, he was a substitute teacher.

Invariably, Fred will be remembered for his wisdom, commitment to country and investment in the future of the youth.
