John Knol

We miss you and your guidance. Your compassion was among the greatest - extended to all of your students. Prayers for peace. Keep the faith and the faith keeps you. Always.

still keeping the faith it will always keep you,

he encouraged me to be me and to never give up he was kind and the best teacher I ever had.
he was my teacher all through high school he would stand up for me in any and all things, I would enjoy spending time with him after class or schoolstop by and spend time with him laughing listing to music we both like jazz rock and the band steely Dan, he took me and other class Mates out to the movies after school once, I didn't have a dad...

It's still there. Sometimes more prominent than others. That feeling that you're still behind me, Mr. Knol. You know, when my grandpa died, I had a lot of regrets about it. He and I didn't see eye to eye much. I still
loved him, of course. And after he was gone, you sort of took his place.

I didn't have you around much longer, but you still made it feel like I could do right by my grandpa, and still had another one there to guide me. Even when I didn't think I'd go anywhere,...

Keep the faith

Faith keeps you

Love you...thank you sir.

Hey Mr. Knol, just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you today... well everyday really. I miss you so much. Fly high my sweet angel. I know you are up there watching over me. So until we meet again, keep the faith, and faith keeps you<3 RIP

I loved Mr.Knol so much. I just started thinking about him and how incredible he was. I was a student of his. He always made you feel special and I am grateful that I had the chance to be in his history class. He was the kind if guy that shows you humans can be so great. I'll remember him for the rest of my life and miss him. Keep the faith he would always say.

mr knol once told me i had the power to change the world. its crazy to believe than any man could have that kind of faith and confidence in a freshman in high school. its crazy to believe that there is not one person that can say anything negative about him. not many people can say that they have met someone that actually changed who they are as a person. but mr knol did change me. the last time i saw him alive, he told me that if he ever had a son, he wishes i were him. i still cant believe...

Today I found myself thinking alot about you... Sometimes you pop in my head and I realize how much I still miss you.
School would have never been the same without you, and Tai Pei still isn't...
I remember the first time I went to Tai Pei in 9th grade, you took me after school because mom was always stuck late working and I would have to sit up there for hours....
I still find myself wanting to talk to you and get some more helpful advise...
You were ones of those...

Mr. Knol was my best friend. He was my inspiration, my light, and my soul. He always kept me on the right track, n I started to stray away from it he would help me get back to where I needed to be. Mr. Knol was the most amazing person I had ever met. When I heard he was gone, i couldn't stop crying. I know he wouldn't want me to. But I couldn't help it, he was a massive part of my life and I always leaned on him for a lot. Mr. Knol changed my life in ways that if he didn't.. I don't know...
