Calvin Knott Obituary

Calvin Knott 11/18/1926 - 4/10/2011 Our wonderful father has passed, after a short battle with lung cancer… He was known as "Dad" to many, always a man full of energy who…could certainly keep up with the best of them. There was nothing this man couldn't fix, he didn't know the word "No". Cal was an electrical contractor, owner of Dynamite Electric for many years here in Tucson, before an early retirement to care for our mother Henrietta "Dolly" Knott in 2005, who preceded him in death. Cal is survived by his five children, Sheila (Bert), Wayne (Dolores), Steve (Paige), Carolyn (Mike), Eric (Tracey) and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Dad made friends easily and will be missed by many, especially his best buddy, Pat Brown. Memorial Service will be held, Saturday, April 16, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. at HEATHER MORTUARY.
