Not sure what to say?

I remember your dad from Mendenhall Elementary. He helped me set up my retirement plan. He was such a nice man. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

We sure had a fun time and life together with your family and ours in Miami, Great running partner you and Jill both. We love you and miss you. Patty, Leon, Katie and Andy Nichols

Billy was the best of the best, the memories we all share of him will make us smile for the remainder of our lives. One of my favorites was on our boat when John yelled for Billy to toss him a line....Billy forgot to attach it to the boat...:)....JR and I feel so blessed to have known Billy and the entire Knapp family. Please know we are thinking of you all and wish you peace. Big Hug, Cindy Long and JR Hopwood

To a wonderfully loving father,husband, grandpa and friend, very loved and so greatly missed.

Bill was always kind, thoughtful, fun and interested in what I had to say. I will always remember the time he saved the beer. :)

I light this candle so that his garden of remberence bursts a new batch of bloomed flowers.
Love you Bill.

My heart goes out to the entire Knapp family. Bill was such a great guy, so kind and generous to everyone. He was also very smart and I thoroughly enjoyed the conversations I had with him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Many kind words are said when someone passes some are true and some are somewhat exaggerated. In the case of "Billy" there cannot be enough said of such a kind and gentle person. His passing has left a giant hole in our lives.
Love you man,
David, Marian, Steve, & Greg
