Aunt Donna, Allison, and Peter:
We are truly sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. I always enjoyed talking to Uncle Roger especially about working in the big city. We were out of town visiting our granddaughters when we got the news. Sorry we could not get there today to celebrate his life and offer our condolences in person. We also truly appreciated how supportive he and all of you were when my father was sick.
Love, Brian and Kathleen Knauth
