Lupe was an avid collector of antiques and referred to himself as their caretaker. He loved playing pool and showing off his “bank shots”. Lupe was very handy and could fix anything, he would say, “if a man can figure out how to build it, I can figure out how to fix it” He was a very selfless man and a people person who wouldn’t hesitate to stop what he was doing to help a friend, neighbor or complete stranger. He loved his Cats, and gave a home to 5 stray kitties who needed him and he would leave his garage door cracked for any other animals who needed shelter during the snow. Lupe enjoyed his last years back in his childhood home in Cheyenne, Wyoming where he was the care taker for his 103-year-old mother, Juliana Taylor.
