I didn't know you sir but I know your son, David.
I want to thank you for your service during a time of great need in our country's history.
I'd also like to commend you on the job you did raising your son. I had a chance to serve with him and it was his presence and calming influence that helped me through much during those times.
So long as his nose points downwards you won't be forgotten.
Fair winds sir.

Rest in peace, Mr. Knapp. I never got the pleasure of meeting you, but I've heard all about you from your son David. He loves you very much, but I'm sure you already knew that. You lived a good, long life surrounded by those who love you. My sincerest condolences to your family.

Your dad came across as a gruff man but he was gentle as a kitten who would do anything to help anyone! Especially when it came to cars. I don't there was anything who couldn't do to fix an engine. Keeping you all in my prayers.
