Leon Tupper and Dan Krichbaum used to run together in their Detroit neighborhood. They also car-pooled.

 

"I miss Dan terribly," says Tupper. "Hardly a week goes by that I'm not thinking of him for one reason or another."

 

As Tupper speaks of his friend, it is clear that he left a personal hole in Tupper's life, and a hole in the community.
