LARRY KNAPP Obituary

KNAPP, LARRY It is with saddened hearts that we announce the passing of Larry Knapp, on April 25, 2023, at the age of 81. He is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Merrilee; and sons, Larry (Sue) and Tim (Sondra). His grandchildren, Jessica, Lars and Alexa, brought Larry his greatest joy! He was immensely proud of each of them and their accomplishments. Larry was a retired District Fire Chief of the Scarborough Fire Department (#213). Beyond a husband, brother, father, grandfather, uncle and cousin, he will also be remembered as a curler, hockey and baseball coach, friend and co-worker. He led by example that hard work was essential to success. His final years were hampered by mobility issues, but he was always supporting family and friends. There will be no funeral services.

Merrilee,
My papa (Jake Weier) just told me about Larry's passing. You were such dear friends to both him and my nan.
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Grandpa,
I think of you and miss you everyday. I will always remember watching Tom and Jerry while your brushed my hair and gave me cheese and crackers to snack on and the golf cart rides and long drives. All of the games of Rummikub in the basement- you always had time for another. I was so blessed to be your Grandaughter. I know you are watching over us and are no longer in pain. Thank you for always being there and for all the memories. Love you Grandpa. xoxo Jessie

Dad,
I´m so grateful that our children had you for a grandpa. Both Jess and Lars loved visiting and the many times you visited us in the states. You were there for every birthday and holiday until your health would not allow it. Grandpa Larry always made sure there was more than enough yummy foods on hand and any of our favorites. Believe me that never went unnoticed! I´m so thankful that Larry, Jess and Lars were able to be at your side in your last hours before passing. You had to know they did everything they could to make in time for their last goodbyes. I wish I could have visited, as well, but I know you realize I was there in spirit and was praying for a peaceful passing from the constant pain you battled. We all think of you daily and each holiday we will remember the times you shared our laughter and antics. Rest in peace.

To My Father-in-Law
It´s not what we have in our lives but rather who we have in our lives.
I am thankful to have had you in my life.
I am thankful for the opportunity to watch you lead with strength, wisdom and love.
I am thankful to have witnessed the joy in your face as you watched Alexa grow.
I am thankful you raised a son who also leads with the same strength, wisdom and love.

how we felt about each other.
I will miss you terribly but know you are in a better place. Rest in Peace my special brother.
