We always enjoyed being in his company, such a warm and kind gentleman. He always had a smile and a jolly laugh that will live in our memory. Sorry for his loss, we will miss him.

I always called Lieutenant Knight “Sir” because, as a fellow Navy veteran, he outranked me. First and foremost, Lieutenant Knight was always a gentleman. A very kind man with a good sense of humor. I will miss him.

Mr. Knight (as I called him) was such a sweet man. I would always see him in the lobby and have a chat with him. He always had a big smile on his face. I will really miss seeing him and chatting with him. I am so sorry for his loss and he will be missed around Windsor.
