Dirk A. Postupack

On Sunday, July 5, Dirk A. Postupack (63), of New Tripoli, PA, was called by the Lord for an early tee time through the Pearly Gates on Heaven's finest course. Born on Long Island, Dirk called Sayville, New York, home before moving to Pennsylvania, where he began his adult life in Allentown.

We will miss his conversations, no matter how long he kept you on the phone; his jokes, no matter how many times he told them; and his love, no matter how hard his bear hugs were.

He was an avid hunter and golfer, as well as a proud hole-in-one recipient, who loved football, baseball, surfing, spirited debates, and cooking and entertaining for his army of family and friends. He was passionate about helping others and worked hard throughout his life, eventually settling into the mortgage industry, where he excelled at turning houses into homes and helping countless families build their futures.

Dirk was a fierce presence, larger than life, and he will be missed immensely. Above all, he was a husband, father, grandfather, brother, son, uncle, cousin, colleague, and friend who will be remembered, treasured, and loved forever.

Hey, Buddy... You know! We love ya, man!

He is survived by his loving wife of 22 years, Maria; his children, Craig Postupack (Lexie), Courtney Perich (Chris), and Shahna Hughes (Todd); his siblings, Danny (Patty), Duane (Nina), Deidre, and Denise (Jim Fleidner); his grandchild, Kona; and his step-grandchildren, Sam, Lila, and Eva. He was predeceased by his parents, Daniel C. and Alice (Satoris) Postupack, and his sister-in-law, Nina Postupack.

A celebration of Dirk's life will be held at Olde Homestead Country Club, 6598 PA-309, New Tripoli in the Carriage House on July 27 from 1:00 to 4:00 PM for the visitation. A Memorial Service will take place at 2:00 PM during the visitation period. Arrangements by Keller Funeral Homes, Inc., Fogelsville.
