Cedric A. KNUCKEY

I´m deeply saddened to hear of Cedric´s passing. Cedric custom made a fly rod for me some years back and I can say he was a master craftsman. My condolences to his family and loved ones.

Attended UMD with Cedric in the early seventies. We became pretty good friends. He took me trout fishing and we went grouse hunting together.

On behalf of the North Shore Steelhead Association I would like to express our deepest sympathy to his family. He was a long time member and a strong supporter of our association. He will be greatly missed by many.
