Ira Knapp Obituary

Ira John Knapp, Sr., of South Wardsboro, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Thursday, April 20, 2023. He was born in Wardsboro on January 23, 1943 to Ira A. and Ora Mae Knapp.

He leaves behind his brother, Jim Knapp: two sons, Ira John Knapp, Jr., (Michelle )and a granddaughter, Karli Knapp: James R. Knapp (Amy) and grandsons James and Alexander Knapp. He also leaves behind his long-time girlfriend, Terry Parsons and his beloved little dog Louie.

He was predeceased by two sisters: Yvonne Lowe and Rose Ann Powers.

Ira (known as "Pops" to family) enjoyed the outdoors and tinkering on many little projects. He will be dearly missed by everyone who had the opportunity to meet him on the road, share a story and leave with a chuckle.

A celebration of life will be held by the family at a later date.
