Not sure what to say?

As I look back 17 + years at comments about my Father, I realize that others saw a Totally Different Side of Webb. Yes, he certainly loved a "good yard sale" taking up most of his Saturday's & a good Auction (which I attended with him when small to "the barn" with Bob Fricker. And yes, he did love his pink or green heisey. However, the fun loving "family man who loved & spoke about his children and grandchildren, was a myth to our family except for daughter, Shannon. I'm truly glad that...

We were so sorry to hear of Web's passing. We knew him thru Ginny who works for Doug, keeping the company books. We enjoyed knowing him and felt like we had met someone who really liked people and was ready to give them advice on antiques for the asking. Doug and Angela Stone

To the Knight Girls,

So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. We cherish all the wonderful memories of camping with your family.

Dear Kecia,
My father and sister let me know of your fathers passing. Years ago my father also told me that your father lived in New Durham. I remember thinking..."What a small world." and always thought I would run into him at the General Store or somewhere around town but never did. As kids, I remember your father putting a roof on our house on Potters Ave. He was always very nice to us kids. I am very sorry for your loss and hope that time and the happy memories you shared help you and...

We were so sad to hear the news about Web. He was a good friend and neighbor in Gilford, N.H.

We had common interests in antiques and would discuss our latest finds wheither from an auction or better yet a good find at a yard sale. We could talk about a "nice piece of glass." Yes glass...especially Heisey. Even bought an old beat up chair from Web, painted it up and gave it a new seat. Still enjoy that chair.

We also talked about gardening...checking on the tomatoes and squash...

Reading of your Dad's passing has caused me to visit the 60's for a short while. The Knight's family home, Liggetts Drug and the soda fountain. Edgewood in general. What wonderful memories. I hope that your Dad shared some of this with you. I was a friend of your uncle Steve but your Dad is prominent figure in it all.
I will hold you close to my heart. My deepest sympathy to you all.

Web was my character friend. A character that you never forget. He would come into Reid's just to aggravate me, we both loved a good fuss. We were the same age and could talk about SS, insurance, children and our bucket lists. Going to miss you, buddy.

Webb was an almost daily visitor at our antique shop. He loved his glassware and stopped to talk to all our staff. Friendly and fiesty. He was a good friend and auction companion. We are so glad he chose Selma to move to and we are better for having known him. As a good neighbour and a loving friend he will be dearly missed.

We are grateful for the many years that we were privileged to call Web Knight our friend. Web was a very unique individual who looked at life in a very positive way but from a different prospective.
He certainly loved people and enjoyed the interaction of a good discussion.
Web also like the challenge of the hunt for various items that he felt contained good value. He often was up early on a Saturday morning to make his rounds of various “sales locations” to put his knowledge to good...
