Knackel was like an uncle to me. According to my parents, when I was a baby he was the only other person I would let hold me despite his long beard and somewhat rough appearance. I guess I must have had the intuition babies and children tend to have. I knew even then what a good-hearted, kind soul he truly was. My mother also told me he used to hold me upside down over our huge aquarium when I was just a baby and I would laugh away while the Oscars jumped at me thinking I was something edible. My mom would protest and Knackel would tell her I liked it, which was evident by my giggles. These are memories that have been shared with me.
The ones I can remember myself are of seeing Knackel on my 16th birthday and him insisting on giving me money so I could get myself something nice. More recently, he gave me a key-chain he&d made and I still have it & think of him whenever I see it. He always made sure to tell me how proud he was that I was going to college. I wish being in college had not kept me away from his funeral, but I&m sure if he was here he&d forgive me. Love you, Knackel! You will be missed!
