Ira Sachs left Memphis for Park City in the '70s, and became one of its biggest boosters — and developed The Yarrow, a landmark hotel. He died at 85.
Ira Sachs Sr. — the former Park City developer and subject of the documentary "Film About a Father Who," directed by his daughter, Lynne Sachs — died Oct. 19, 2022, a week shy of his 86th birthday, his family said.Ira Sachs, the adventurous and eccentric real estate developer who landed in Park City in the 1970s to ski and ended up opening one of its landmark hotels, has died.
“I was skiing at Snowbird just after it opened,” he said. “I skied off a run and fell about 300 feet. I finally stopped near a girl who said, ‘I’m a Mormon and I prayed for you all the way down.’ I knew I had come to the right place then.” Ira Sachs also started a wedding venue in Parleys Canyon, which he called the Rose Sachs Gardens, after his mother; the venue is now known as Louland Falls.
Ira Sachs was born Ira Richman on Oct. 26, 1936, in Memphis, Tenn., to Rose Gold and Harry Richman. His parents divorced when he was young, and Rose later married Mortimer Sachs. His stepfather adopted him, and Ira took his last name. Lynne Sachs became an acclaimed documentary filmmaker, and “Film About a Father Who” was a film that she spent more than 30 years making, between other projects.
