To the family of John Knapp, Jr,
I am so heartbroken to hear of Jack's passing. I knew him through his sister Joann. He was such a friendly, and strikingly handsome man. I lost a father to Alzheimer's and know what a cruel disease it is. Please accept my condolences for the passing of such a fine person...-Lora Mendez
