Amnon "Ami" Sapir Obituary (1946 - 2023)

Amnon "Ami" Israel Sapir, age 77, born in Givatayim Israel, passed away peacefully on July 6, 2023, surrounded by his family. Preceded in death by his mother, Shoshana Shapira and father, Aryeh Sapir. Ami is survived by his wife of 47 years, Arlene Sapir, his loving children Jennifer (Brian) Schuman, Benji (Lauren) Sapir, and his beautiful grandchildren Jacob, Noah, Ethan and Jordan, who Ami adored; along with his sister, Ilana (Yehoshua) Sagiv and all of his nieces, nephews, cousins and friends here, in Israel, and around the world. Ami was a beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend. He was devoted to his family, took pride in working hard to support them, and knew how to enjoy life. Everywhere he went, he made a friend, whether it be the local restaurant, work, or on vacation. Ami was always ready to socialize and be part of the action. At the end of every evening, he’d have a nightcap of tea with lemon and a midnight chat. Ami was a loving, warm, unique individual who touched so many and will be dearly missed by his family, friends and acquaintances.
