To the Knapp Family:
Our deepest sympathies on the loss of our dear Uncle George. I know that we will all miss him greatly.
One of my favorite memories of Uncle George is of his driving our school bus to the high school and how every student addressed him as "Uncle George". They all loved him and so do we!
Our deepest sympathies and prayers are with you at this time.

Dave and Doug,
Although I don't remember much about your father, I realize the quality of the man by his legacy - the two of you, and what good people you were during our school years. Take care.

To our dear Aunt Verne and loving cousins,
We are so sorry about Uncle George. Our memories of him will always be fun ones. His suffering is now over. Jesus said "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will have eternal life." Remember that we will see Uncle George and all of our departed loved ones again in God's kingdom.
I have a feeling that Uncle George and my Dad are now teasing Baba in Heaven.
Love to all,
Chris and Bob Martuch
