Not sure what to say?

Dr.Knaysi's name still puts a smile on people' faces. He was a great dentist and an amazing human being. Many times my dental visit turned into a counseling and advice session. Dr. Knaysi genuinely cared for each patient. I felt like family. Continue to rest easy Dr. Knaysi

My wife and I miss him very much. He was a wonderful man. He always asked us about our family. I know he is in Heaven now and smiling down at everyone.

I'm so sorry to see this he will be missed. I enjoyed visiting this practice he always made sure you were never in pain, just pressure(smile) Thank you family for sharing this man with us, I extend my condolences I'm going to miss him very much.

Oh my goodness. I did not know of Fred´s illness and passing until today, September 6, 2022, when I received a letter in the mail. Fred was my Dentist from age 18 (1970), until I moved out of the area in 2018. All those years, and I never realized that the Fred was only one year older than I am. He always was wise, kind, and super knowledgeable in all things. My heart aches to think that he had to endure all that is involved with battling esophageal cancer. Fred was such a kind and...

So sorry to hear about Dr. Kynasi. My favorite memory of him, was the way he treated our son to put him at ease before an appointment. I can hear him say, "Hey John, been to any good concerts lately?" John wasn't a big concert goer, but it helped to calm him down and take his mind off of the scheduled procedure. I am sure we will send a donation to the cancer fund in his name. M. Hensley

I am so shocked and saddened by the news of Dr. Knaysi's passing. I started working for his practice shortly after moving to Richmond. To say he was a kind, thoughtful soul is an understatement. After leaving my job, I continued to be a patient of his for 23 years. My dental appointments were always like a little family reunion for us. He always asked about my family. His pride for his boys was always so obvious. I know that heaven gained an angel. He will be greatly missed. Prayers...

So very sorry to hear about Dr. Knaysi. My family and I always enjoyed our visits to his office.

We are really sorry for the devastating loss of Dr. Knaysi. We were patients of his for over 30 years. He had such a sweet and gentle spirit about him, and he will never be able to be replaced as our dentist or friend. Our hearts go out to Dolores and their sons on the loss of their husband and father. He will be missed more than anyone will ever know. He took care of our teeth as well as our kids and was also seeing to the dental care of two of our grandchildren. We all loved him and will...

Please accept our heart felt condolences. My heart hurts for the loss you all are enduring. I'll pray that your grief will not be as consuming as what I experienced losing my parents. I am in shock that we have lost our beloved family dentist. He loved his family and discussed his wife and sons with love and admiration often over the last 20 years. We had 3 generations trusting Dr. Knaysi. I will miss our talks and his gentle nature. Heaven gained an amazing spirit. With all our love.
