Ann Knight, a very good friend of mine growing up in Indian Rocks Beach (Belleair Beach), I'm so sorry to hear of your dads' passing. How fortunate you all were to have had him live so long! My mom died from Alzheimers in 2004. Love to the whole family. God Bless.
Joe, your family is so special due to you and Harriet. You will surely be missed. All my love to Harriet and all the children and grandchildren. The world is better for you being a part of it. Rest in peace.
A GOOD friend for over 50 years. Rest in Peace brother and say Hi to Jesus for me. See you soon.
Although it is with a heavy heart we all have in learning of Joe's passing, we can all admire, appreciate and celebrate the full life he had with his beloved Harriet and their four children. He so enjoyed his life and family, and he nurtured all of his passions with an abundance of love and caring - fishing, west Florida history, wood-working and preservation, child-rearing, the great outdoors, and so much more. Many a night I spent over at the Knight household with my dear friend Gayle, and I will always remember how he lovingly called Gayle "sweet pea". That was the first time I had ever hear that term. He was a warm presence. Rest in peace, Joe.
I am holding Gayle and her family in my heart as you say goodbye to your beloved Father, husband and grandfather. I know it must have been a blessing for him to see the deeply caring human being his daughter Gayle grew to be.
