Brian, I just want to say I miss you. I know you're in Heaven and I'll see you one day. You have one of the best families, and family of friends I've ever known. Mike and Deb P., Dan and Connie P., Kathy H., and many more miss you a lot. You're a great man and we all miss and love you.

I recall when John Brown and I picked Brian up at the airport just before Christmas many years ago. He had been living in Hilton Head, SC. Brian got in the car that had been idling for about 15 min. at the gate pick-up area. As we sat 3 abreast in the front seat I could feel a constant shiver. We traveled several blocks and I said "what is the matter" He said "I am FREEZING!" Ohhhh The Bear! We'll miss you buddy!!

Our deepest sympathy to the whole Knauer family. I go back to grade school with Brian. There are many memories I will never be able to laugh about with him again, although I will still smile when I think about them. Connie met Brian about twenty years ago and also enjoyed his company, mostly up at Mike & Deb's.

Dear Mr.and Mrs. Milton Knauer and Family,
I'm very sorry for Brian's passing. Brian and I had many long talks about so many things and I know he's with the Lord. Thank you for giving us such a precious gift for all of us that love Brian. I can't imagine my life without him. We were best friends and I'll always love and miss him, his laugh and love. He was a mans man, yet such a sensitive soul that always made every life he touched better for having known him. Milton and Judy, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I will always love and miss Brian, and thankful he was a big part of my life.
My Deepest Sympathy,

Our sympathy on Brian's death. My family lived on Island Avenue when the Knauer boys were growing up. My children, Mark, Dave, Karen, Donna and Ken were all fond of Brian and treasure happy memories of those carefree days as small children.

Mr.Knauer, Milt, Mike, JJ and family, we could not be more shocked or saddened to hear the news of Brian's passing. Over the years we were fortunate enough to live close enough to him to visit and get together. And yes his laughter will be greatly missed. He was "one-of-a-kind". He will be in our hearts forever. As all of you are now in our prayers and thoughts.

To all of Brian's family, we were Brians neighbors for many years. He was a great friend to us and our dog (Smokey). Brian loved Smokey and Smokey surely loved him. Rest in peace, Brian....
