Thomas Roger Knittel

Dear Kathleen, this is Jan Withers from our Columbus, MS days. Remember we reunited at a St Ignatius reunion. I remarried after Doug was killed to Joe Sikes, a St Ignatius grad. He just received the school's spring magazine in which was posted the news of Tom's death. I want you to know how deeply sorry I am. I send you my warmest love. Please know I am holding you in my heart.

To Tom's family: I knew your husband/father/grandfather as college students while he sang for Holy Cross and I for Annhurst College. We had the same Director and performed in many concerts together. Early in his first year at practice in Kimball Hall, Tommy approached a group of us and asked if we knew Jane. His roommate was the brother of a high school friend of mine and he told Tommy to look me up. And, that began a friendship which lasted throughout college. He was a kind man and...

Kathleen. So sorry to just read about Tom´s passing. You both were special people in our lives. Tom has completed his passage from here to where he will be eternally happy.

Dear Kathleen, Susan, and Charlie, My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you in the loss of your husband Tom and devoted father. I was blessed to know him and sing with him in the St. Pat´s folk choir for many years. Love, blessings and strength to you during this difficult time.

Tom was a great guy and a truly Catholic man. I was in AFROTC with him at Holy Cross. I enjoyed our round of golf at our 2018 HC reunion. He was so happy to be out there on a nice day. Rob Green

Bless you!

Met him aa a golfer and he became a friend will miss hi and that smile

I recognized that smile instantly -- after enjoying it so many times and in so many ways -- as classmates. Long a Man for Others, now safely home.

Kathleen and family, I am so saddened by the passing of Tom. I only met him once briefly at an event but he immediately struck me as an engaging man who could talk to anyone and make them a friend. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
