I met Mr Knight when he came by my office on Main Street to sell his peanut brittle. He was so proud of his daughter and sang her praises everytime he came in. I was very honored to know him and have him come by and cheer us up with a joke when he came by. He was a really great man and will be deeply missed. Praying comfort during your time of grief.

We are going to miss Mr. Knight's monthly visit to The Courier-Times on his peanut brittle route. We enjoyed his fellowship. Told me many a corny joke and even sang to me from time to time. I pray you will be comforted during your time of loss.

I remember him coming to the place I use to work and selling the peanut brittle, telling jokes and singing little songs. One of his favorite things to do was show us ladies in the office how quick he was on his feet for his age and would take off out the door and to his vehicle as quick as a whip. I enjoyed our little visits and the many stories and jokes he shared. Praying for the family during this time.

SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS! Prayers for healing sent your way. Enjoyed hearing his stories of life and his jokes. From what he told I could tell he enjoyed life to the fullest! I know he's happy to be with his wife again. He talked about her all the time.
