Hubert Kreplick

Hubert Kreplick, 85, of Salem, formerly of Marblehead and Lynn, entered into eternal rest on Saturday, June 4, 2022. He was born in Lynn, July 6, 1936, the son of Dr. Morris and Rose (Roodin) Kreplick, the youngest of 6 children. Hubert was the devoted husband of Roberta (Sherman) Kreplick for 53 years until her death in May of 2013.

Hubert was a graduate of New England College of Pharmacy and was the owner of Paramount Drug, Inc., on Union Street in Lynn for 41+ years before he closed the doors in August of 2003. Hubert loved being an independent business owner, and to his customers he was the ultimate health care provider that took pride in servicing the community he grew up in. He was also a proud board member of the Brotherhood Credit Union, a banking institution started by his father in law and his brothers in 1934, in Lynn, MA for over 50 years.

He is survived by his children, Dr. Lance W. Kreplick and wife Jane, Margot (Kreplick) Bloom and husband George, and Mia (Kreplick) Klein and husband Darren. He was the proud grandfather of Dr. Alexis (Kreplick) Aversa and husband Matt; Samantha, Jessica, and Jennifer Bloom; and Benjamin, Jackson, and Andrew Klein. Most recently, he became the great-grandfather of Alessandra Aversa. He was preceded in death by his siblings, Florence, Sumner, Joseph, Harvey, and Herbert.

While devoted to his work and family, he loved to watch all New England sports, especially the Patriots and Red Sox. What people will remember most about Hubie is his sense of humor and his infectious laugh that some have affectionately referred to as the “Kreplick cackle.”
