Auburn - George Krapovicky, 95, passed away on May 2, 2026; at Clover Manor in Auburn, reunited with his wife Janet in their heavenly home.
He was born in Auburn on March 7, 1931, son of Lithuanian immigrants John and Emilia Krapovicky. He graduated Edward Little High School in 1949. He proudly served his country in the U.S Army, a veteran of the Korean War. He went to college on the G.I bill, and attained a Masters of Education at University of Maine at Orono. He married the love of his life Janet Elaine Simmons in 1970.
George was a beloved teacher of sciences, and coached several activities at Lewiston High School and Montello Elementary School fondly remembered by his students for his classroom antics. He enjoyed skiing, gardening, deer hunting, and was a skilled fisherman - whether at a secret fishing hole with home-tied flies, or ocean excursions in his Boston Whaler. He was well known for his sense of humor, and always had a dad joke ready to tell.
George is predeceased by his wife, parents, and his brothers John, Charles and Alec Krapovicky.
He is survived by his sons Michael Krapovicky and Matt (Narnia) Krapovicky; grandchildren Marcus Krapovicky, Emelia (Joshua) Morin, and Braiden Krapovicky; his nephew Lee (Charlotte) Krapovicky and Lee s children Angela and Derek Krapovicky; his sister-in-law, Eva Jane Demers; and nieces Lisa Fuellemann and Ellen Ross. All will miss him greatly.
Services will be held on Friday, May 15 at 11 a.m. at East Auburn Baptist Church, 560 Park Ave., Auburn, with refreshments following. Condolences may be shared at FuneralAlternatives.net
Rest in peace, Mr. Krapovicky!
