My deepest condolences to the Knytych family for the loss of Laddie. His son, Dan, and I were childhood friends. The Knytych home was often a gathering place for the neighborhood kids. Laddie was always working to support his family; Joy was always hospitable.

Their loss is ours as well.

I'm very sad at the loss of Laddie. I always think that what's important is how one led their life and what positive influences they've passed on to others. He had the greatest influence, to me, on my best freind, Dan. Throughout his life, he's been just like Laddie, tough, strong, and always there for his freinds. Thank you Laddie

You are all in my prayers and Laddie has been and will continue to be on my mind. I hope the strength of the closely knit Knytych family will help all of you through this difficult time. I wanted to send my condolences here since I will be unable to make the services.



Again, I am sorry and you are all in my prayers and thoughts.
