Please accept my sincerest condolences on the loss of man of science. God Bless.

His work inspired me as a student to come to USA and complete a PhD in catalysis. He changed the face of modern medicine in the 20th century.

Often we wonder why do good people, who contribute so much, have to die? At Jeremiah 29:11, our loving God wants us to have a future and a hope. May his words comfort your family and his peace remain with you.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.(Eccl. 7:1)

I just finished reading 'The Next Hundred Years', The Unfinished Business of Science by C.C. Furnas written in 1936. The men of science, William Knowles being one, were Titans leading humanity forward. Catalysts are the key. Thank you and condolences to the family.

Thank you so much for creating the L-dopa drug which eased the suffering of my late aunt. She was a lovely person who fought valiantly when Parkinson's disease struck her. My condolences to your family, friends and colleagues.
