To Larry's family
I am sure you will all miss Larry very much. Larry & I were neighbors & took the bus together to work at MacEwan for several years. More recently I would see Larry at Lifestyles when I arrived for my chorus rehearsal on Tuesday nights. Hard to believe that big personality is gone.
Larry talked bout his family all the time and loved you all very much.

Our Condolences go out to all of Larry's family, he was a good man who LOVED his family and loved to talk about all his Grandkids. Larry cared about all his friends and family and that was a BIG part of his life. I got to know Larry when he and my cousin Marg got married. Goodbye Larry and GOD BLESS

I am so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. He was such a kind, caring, friendly, individual who loved his family, friends, and life. I use to work at Life Style Options and my daughter has a severe disability. Occassionally I would bring her to work and Larry would push her in her jogging stroller for a walk while I was at a meeting. He even took her to Toy R us to check out the toys. His gift of acceptance and love for my daughter will never be forgotten. He really was a special individual ! May you find comfort, strength, and peace in the days ahead!

Deepest sympathies and condolences to the Knechtel family.

Larry was a favorite instructor at Grant MacEwan and was one to prove it is not the "sheer ecstasy of accounting" that keeps one in the profession.

My heart goes out to Mr Knechtel's family members.

I had the pleasure of having Mr Knechtel as an instructor at Grant MacEwan years ago and I thought he was one of the nicest most sincere individuals I had ever met.
