John Huppuch

SARATOGA SPRINGS — 1/4/1952–10/28/2020 — John Huppuch, 68, passed away suddenly at Saratoga Hospital. 

John was born in Saratoga Springs to John (Jack) Huppuch and Anne Hayes Huppuch. In 1970 he graduated from Saratoga High School. In 1974 he graduated from The University of Vermont with a bachelor’s degree in Wildlife Management. He had a passion for nature and loved photography. John had his hands in everything during his life. You never knew what he was up to next. He always made you laugh, had a quick wit and always had a joke or a tale to tell. John was an Expert Sharpshooter at a young age. 

After graduating from college, John moved to California to pursue the martial arts. He earned his 12th degree black belt status after many years of dedication. He went on to instruct “Hwa Rang Do” to many students. He appeared twice on “That’s Incredible” demonstrating his martial arts. After moving back to Saratoga John began organizing events, bartending at the track, had Santa Claus gigs, and worked part time at Walmart among many other things. He loved fishing and was a member of the Basspointers of Saratoga Springs. He was also an active member of Bethesda Episcopal Church where he served on the Vestry. 

John is survived by his daughter, Jenna (Dave) Galich of Georgia, brother Kipp Huppuch of Washington and a sister Jill (Wally) Duthie of Wyoming. John has two grandchildren, numerous cousins, nieces, a nephew as well as many dear friends. John is also survived by his devoted dog, Boomer. John was preceded in death by both of his parents and dog, Bailey. Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be scheduled in Saratoga at a later date.
