My deepest sympathy to the Knapp family.  I remember Jack fondly and pray for his peace.  Through the years, whenever we played Hempfield, I’d always look for Mr. Knapp and Mr. Kober and usually found them.  I smile through the tears when I remember the time my dad set off the M300 while Jack was napping on his back porch.  I’ve never seen someone go so quickly from sleeping in a prone position to standing at full attention!  God bless you Jack.  The Querry Family

Words cannot express the sadness I feel for Patty, Cindy and Michelle. Growing up on Speckled Drive we were all one big family, kids knowing kids, parents knowing parents. We had the best times!!! Your dad was a wonderful man with a heart of gold, he will be missed. My love to all of you and my sincere condolences.
