In his private life he served on various committees of the Parish of the Epiphany in Winchester and as an assistant with Boy Scout Troop 507, as well as serving as a member and Chair of the Board of Directors of the Perkins School in Lancaster, MA. Mr. Knopf was an avid traveler, enjoying numerous adventures in the U.S.A. and abroad with his wife, children, and friends over many years, and several solo journeys around the world.
