Knight Family,

I am truely saddened by the news of Lou's passing. Lou & I were great friends back when we were growing up in Cradock & I have many fond memories of all of the good times we had as well as some of the "dumb" things that we did back in those days. We went our separate ways once we grew up but to this day anytime I ride by Lou's parents house I think of the good times we had and what a good friend he was.
We will keep Lou and all of you in my thoughts & prayers.
