Newton Dupree Jr. son of the late Newton & Daisy Dupree, was born December 11, 1935 in Lomax, Alabama.  He is one of four children.  He was called to his eternal home on June 2, 2020 in Cincinnati, Ohio

June move to Cincinnati, Ohio when he was 7 years old where he attended South Woodlawn Elementary school. He graduated in 1956 from Lockland Wayne High school.  June was a man of many trades. He was employee at GE, and later became a truck driver for E & L transport for 35 years before he retired. He met Anna Howard in 1965 and after his retirement they were married.

June was a very quiet person. He was a hard worker and a provider for his family no matter what the situation was, we love him for that.  He love to work on cars, radio breaking things down and then rebuilding them.
