Richard Joseph Juipe, 76, a retired civil engineer who once was the youngest mayor in the state of Michigan, died Tuesday in Las Vegas.
A Las Vegas resident for 16 years, he had been the general superintendent and vice president of a construction company. He was employed by the deKoning Construction of Ann Arbor, Mich., for 37 years prior to retiring in 1984.
