Our thoughts and prayers are with Phyllis and her family. Roy will be missed terribly. I am sure that he and my dad (Richard Grove) are doing a lot of catching up in Heaven right now. May God grant us comfort in this difficult time until we see our loved ones again in Heaven one day.

My deepest sympathy to all of you. I watched all of you grow up and he worked here many times and always said he was about my age and had gotten married about the same time that Bill and I did. He will be sorely missed. I know he is in heaven as he was a wonderful man and believed in Jesus as his Savior. He always bragged about his children and what they did. He was so proud of all of you. He loved his partner of almost 60 years. May God bring comfort to all of you knowing that he doesn't have to suffer anymore.

Roy and his father Clarence were both mentors and guides in the early formation of my new found life living patterns that have stuck with me up and to this day. May the Higher Power, Jesus, watch over the entire family and bring you the peace and acceptance that Roy has found in heaven this day.

Nancy, I am sorry to hear of your father's passing. My God comfort you and bring you peace during this time. (Just in case my name doesn't ring a bell I worked with you at Gaslight Haven several moons ago. Hope all is going well with you otherwise.)

To the entire Knittel family--
βPraise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.β (2 Corinthians 1:3β5 NIV84).
We thank God for the faith he poured into Roy's heart so many years ago, and for keeping him strong in that faith until he entered his eternal rest. May the Lord's comfort fill your hearts to overflowing in the days and weeks ahead. We are praying for all of you!
In Christ,
Jon and Kay Brohn

Well, Mr. Knittel is in heaven now. Isn't it okay to tell the grieving that he is truly in "a better place"? He is with his Lord and Saviour.
But know that the Lord has
set apart for Himself him
who is godly;

Phyllis and family,
I was saddened to hear about Roy's death. He is probably playing cards with Ham and Sylvia. It is so hard to lose a love one, but you know Roy is in heaven with our Lord and Savior.

Phyllis and family,
We are deeply saddened to hear of Roy's passing. We did not know of it until today or we would have been at his visitation and funeral. Roy will truly be missed - he was a wonderful man and neighbor. Phyllis, we are here if you need anything - just let us know. The neighborhood won't be the same without him, but obviously GOD had other plans for him. Please know our thoughts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time. Much love.

Phyllis,
We are very sad to hear of Roy's passing. I have such fond memories of coming to SH when I was young to learn how to catch perch with Dad and Uncle Roy. I wish our family could have come up to Michigan to be with you all. Our prayers are with you. And if the fishing is good in Heaven, Roy and Ron are probably catching all they can pull in.
Love, Dan & Family
