Dear Wendy, John, Chris,Michael, and Kenzie, We were very sad to hear of the death of your dad, grandpa, and friend. Wendy - I remeber you talking about him and he sounded so much like my dad. A special and wonderful father. We are so very sorry. We wish we were closer to be there to let you know you are in our thoughts and prayers. He must have been so proud of such wonderful children and grandchildren. As we all know, that gives you such life when we have strong families that care about each other. We will pray for all of you and think of you in the coming months. God Bless you and give you strength during this time of loss. Love, The Knapp Family
