Whitney Pier
It is with heavy hearts that we, the family, regret to announce the sudden passing of Alan Stanley Chalupa, age 62, on Tuesday, November 22, 2022, at home surrounded by his pack.
Born on April 10, 1960, Alan was the son of the late Ludwig and Mary (Chmiel) Chalupa.
Alan was born and raised in Whitney Pier where he also worked as a letter carrier for Canada Post before retiring. A devoted New York Ranger fan, Alan grew up playing road hockey on Ferris Street with an outstanding group of guys. He loved to golf, play darts and spend time down at Polar Bear beach with family and friends, especially his best friend and brother, Laddie. Many nights were spent sharing laughs and listening to Elvis and country music. Alan’s passion for his animals and animals in general was unsurpassed and they will miss him dearly, as will all who knew and loved him.
Alan is survived by his daughter, Crystal Gouthro (Barry Brown) and granddaughter, Janaya Gallant, his pride and joy, along with close friend, Candis Cullen.
Besides his parents, Alan was predeceased by his brothers, Laddie, Terry, Leonard and sister, Bernice.
The family will gather in private to celebrate the life of Alan Chalupa.
