My prayers go out to all the members of the Knauss family. I know you are so very proud of your husband and father, but to know that there are so many of us that loved him and respected him for whom he was and what he stood for. He was a wonderful person.

As a student of Mr. Knauss' social studies class at Whitmer, he rated as one of my 3 favorite teachers. And I still can hear him say when we got out of control, "Alright class, let's level off." My condolences to all the family.
