Lupe joined the Navy at the age of 18 and served from 1944 to 1946 aboard the USS Haskel and discharged as a Seaman 2nd Class. He received the Victory Medal, Pacific Star and the Asiatic Philippines Liberation Star in WWII. When he returned home he married Carmen Moreno and lived in Tolleson, Arizona for many years.
