Martin Francis Halupka Jr., age 77, of Richardson, Texas, passed away on Monday, October
21, 2024. He was born in Stockton, California, to Emilea Dragovich and Martin Francis
Halupka Sr.
Martin proudly served his country as a Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War.
He was a devoted husband to the love of his life, Bonnie Lynn Halupka, who survives him.
Together, they built a loving family that brought him immense pride and joy.

weather and politics, and his unwavering support of his favorite sports teams—especially

cherished time spent with his family.
