Sometimes people only need to be in your life for a short time to make a special difference. ' Uncle ' Les was kind considerate and always willing to help. He will be sorely missed as a good neighbor and friend. Our hearts are with you all during this time.

I never had the privilege of meeting Mr. Knott. Listening to his son, Craig, talk about Mr. Knott, I felt I knew the man who was dedicated to his family and community.

Mr. Knott's diverse career and focused work ethic is a clear statement to person he was.

His legacy continues with Mrs. Knott and children.
