I have so many memories of Mr. Knotts from school....him teaching science, him as the boys´ coach, my drivers Ed instructor, and him singing at the 1976 jamboree. What a legacy he left and I think we´re all better for having known him. My heart to his family at this time of pain.

We were very saddened to hear of Mr. Knott´s passing. He was definitely "one of a kind". He had been a part of our family´s life over three decades. He was a teacher, a coach, a Drivers Ed Instructor, a bus driver, a computer helper, a co-worker, an advisor, etc., and above all a "friend" to our family. We feel very privileged to have known this man. He will definitely be remembered by many. We sincerely send our deepest condolences to you , Annette, Chris, Melanie, and all your family.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Charlie was fun and special friend while attending Mosquero High School. Many fun memories of basketball, band, classes and myself being subjected to "SNIPE HUNTING!" Memories of him with the song in high school. "CHARLIE BBROWN". See you later, Charlie, we'll keep our memories and see you again someday. Peace of mind , heart, and love to your beautiful family.

To the first teacher to send me to the office, on my first day of seventh grade. Believe it or not, I learned a lot from your classes. Mr. Knotts, you have left a great hole, and a great family to fill your shoes.
