Condolences for Richard Alan Knutson
A good man and a wonderful uncle who will be missed greatly. I want to thank him for honorable service to his country as United States Marine. He loved his granddaughter so very, very much. We will all miss you Uncle Dill.
My deepest sympathy to you all for this loss. You are in my thoughts.
My deepest sympathies at this your time of loss. May the Lord embrace you and guide you through this time of sorrow. Thinking of you Pam. God Bless.
I was saddened to hear of the passing of Rich, who I considered a very good friend. We both worked together at Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. for quite a few years. He was quite an intelligent fellow, had a great sense of humor and was an all around fine person. Don’t know what I would have done when I had to work nights at Goodyear without Rich’s friendship. Working nights was tough on me and Rich was about the only person who seemed to care. ( Rich worked nights most of his time at Goodyear ) As a fellow Vet, I can relate to his service in the Marine Corps. Rich was one of the good guys and will be sorely missed.
I loved Richard so much and I’m going to really miss him . We teased each other calling each other sister and brother . Hard for me to believe that he is gone. Jack, Pam and Amanda and the rest of the family I’m thinking of you all with a very heavy heart. I know this has been so hard letting go. Take care .
