Rest in peace PHIL KUPKA

#1 Post by Todd P. »

I don't know if he was ever active at the Clubhouse, but Phil was well-known among many in our community. Here's the news as shared today by Model Club TV:
It is with a heavy heart that we have to notify folks that our friend, fan, and past guest Phil Kupka passed this morning at 1:25AM. Phil was a great modeler and liked by everyone that knew him. Our condolences to his wife Diane, Children, Grandchildren, family and friends. He will be greatly missed by all.

This is such sad news.
I knew things weren't good, but I was still holding out hope that he might pull through somehow.

All I know him is from model club.. He had great stories about the early days of wonderfest and other shows.
He was descent guy.. he will be missed. R.I.P

Sad. I knew of him but don't think we ever talked.
But sad to see a fellow hobbyist depart... RIP.
