We were saddened to hear of the passing of TJ. We will miss our over the fence conversations. He was a good neighbor that we considered our friend. He and Louise have been great neighbors from the time we moved next door, we will miss him. We prayed for and will continue to pray for him, Louise and family. Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

JT was a nice man. He was always concerned with the wellbeing of others. Conflict was something he wanted to remedy, never create. He was generous, forgiving, and had a great sense of humor.
He was the kind of guy you liked to hang out with, because -- he was just pleasant to be around.
He raised a beautiful family. He was a dutiful son to my mother and father, a loving husband, a loving supportive father, and the best brother anyone could have. I am honored to have known him, and I am lucky to have been loved by him. He enriched my life, and the lives of many. The world needs more nice men. I will miss him dearly.

I have known JT for over 50 years. He was a great person and had a wonderful view of life. We were inseparable friends in high school and college. We had so much fun over that time period. He was always my wingman and talked quite wisely for a young adult. He had an old soul and I am sure he is having fun in heaven! RIP JT!

I did not know Mr. Knuttel personally but if Louise is a reflection of him, he was a very generous and supportive individual who will be sorely missed.
