Mary,
We are so very sorry to lose Knobby as not only a great neighbor across the street, but also as a dear friend. We will always be very grateful to have spent so many good times with him, and we will miss him terribly. May God bless you and your family, and be with you all during this very difficult time.

I remember Norbert, Carl and my Dad at Ebbe's, drinking beer, working on projects (haying, butchering pigs) and drinking more beer. Norbert was a good man, will be missed but not forgotten. My prayers are with all of you.
