DR. WILLIAM L. "WILLIE" KNAPP

My sincere condolences are offered to the Knapp family. Willie made a huge and positive impact on me as a boy and young man through his and his brothers' selfless and servant leadership of Troop 46 in Kansas City. Every time I am out in the field with my own son and his scout troop gazing at stars, I recall the times that Willie gathered us as scouts with his flashlight to point out stars and constellations. He was a man imbued with honor and was a great inspiration on my trail to Eagle...

Willie was an inspiration to my family; I admired his energy and his ability. He was heavily involved with his children in scouting and sports. He was a great family man and a devout Catholic, and I'm positive he is now in a better place.

we sent out a group prayer for you and your
family, Rest in Peace

Heartfelt condolences go out to the Knapp family. I will always remember stopping by the Knapp home on Halloween to get my new toothbrush. Dr. Knapp was a great father and was often seen riding bicycles with his four boys around Lincoln. He will be missed in the community.

On behalf of the Knights of Columbus, he was an inspiration to all of us!
