6/18/1957 to 4/13/2021
Frank lost a well fought battle in an impossible war against cancer on 4.13.2021. He joins his father, Ray, in the promised land. Frank was born and raised in Grand Rapids Northeast Side and after High School he dedicated a term of duty in service to his country and sailed the seas on the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk with the U.S. Navy.
He is survived by his mother, Judy Menichino, his brothers Mark and Chris Kaupa and half-brother Andy Menichino. He leaves behind 3 adult children and 9 grandchildren; Jaison Kaupa (and Dawn) with Cheyanne (Wes) Chandler, Vanessa Reser, James (Destiny) Reser, Mikhael Reser and Jake Kaupa; Steve (and Brooke) Kaupa with Aspyn; Lisa Rogers (and Michelle) with Charlotte, Evan and Grayson Rogers. There are many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, names spared with love.
Frank loved fishing, golfing, meeting old and making new friends at local watering holes around the NE side. For most, to know Frank was to love Frank. His personality, charm and sense of humor made him fun to be around.
