Obituary

In loving memory of William Joseph Supe, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend, who was born on May 12, 1943, in Cincinnati, Ohio. He peacefully departed this world on May 29, 2025, at the age of 82, surrounded by the love of his family. A cherished son of the late Henry Supe and late Alma (nee Kroger) Supe, who lovingly shaped his early years.  William leaves behind a legacy that embodies generosity, humor, and unwavering love.

William was the devoted husband of Kathleen (nee Ries) Supe for 59 wonderful years. Their enduring love began in high school, blossoming into a beautiful partnership built on shared values and precious memories. Together, they created a nurturing home for their children, Tera Dipuccio and David Supe, fostering a spirit of warmth and compassion that echoed throughout their lives. He will be lovingly remembered as a devoted grandfather to Richard (Mattaneeya) Supe, Stephen Supe, Gabriel Supe, Michael (Ryan) Supe, Gabrielle Dipuccio, and Brandon Courtney, and as a caring great-grandfather to Logan Sage Supe, Jaelyn Supe, and Joshaun Supe. He was also a dear brother of the late  Jerome "Jerry" Supe. William will forever hold a special place in the hearts of his family, and his memory will live on through stories filled with love and laughter.

A proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps, William served his country with honor during the Vietnam War for four and a half years. His memories of camaraderie and the bonds forged during those times remained a significant part of his life. After his military service, he took on the role of manager at Thriftway Foods, where his leadership and dedication shone brightly.

In his leisure, William enjoyed the simple pleasures of life—hunting on his family farm, fishing in the serenity of nature, and relishing the laughter that came with playing cards. William had a flair for humor, often bringing smiles to those around him with his quick wit and playful spirit. William's practical jokes and infectious laughter will be remembered fondly by all who knew him. A lifelong fan of the Cincinnati Reds, he found joy in cheering for his team, and while his singing was more heartfelt than tuneful, his love for music was undeniable. William's zest for life and the bonds he forged, left an indelible mark that will never be forgotten.

A visitation celebrating William's life will take place on June 3, 2025, at Frederick Funeral Home, 2553 Banning Rd., from 4:00 PM until time of funeral service at 6:00 PM. Where friends and family are invited to gather together in reflection and remembrance. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorials be made to Dignity Hospice Care , located at 10123 Alliance Rd, Suite 241, Cincinnati, OH 45242, in gratitude for the support provided to William and his family during this time.

As we remember William, we invite you to share in the joy of his life and the cherished memories he leaves behind, reflecting on the beautiful impact he made on all who were fortunate enough to know him. He will be deeply missed but forever remembered in our hearts.
