Dear members of the McKnight Family, Having just today learned of Alden’s passing, I wish to add my thoughts and prayers for a true gemtleman. It was always refreshing to have a conversation with Alden, where something interesting always came from our chats. He had an inquiring mind and respectful and pleasant manner, which I admired.

To Marjorie and all of the MacKnight family! So sorry to hear of Aldens passing just today and thus the reason we didn't pass along our deepest, heartfelt sympathy in person. God bless you as you try and find a way to live without him, and eventually fill that hole in your heart with great memories! Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

Dear Judy and family.
There are never words at times like these. Losing a parent is very difficult no matter when or how. Grief is a strange creature. Know you are being thought of with love and compassion especially through the coming year.

So sorry to hear of Aldens's passing...as we are out of country we will not be able to pay our respects in person but please know our thoughts and prayers are with you. I have missed his big handshake for quite some time now...he was almost able to pull me out of my shoes when he gave it. I always keep my back straight and shoulders pulled back due to his constant reminders as a kid growing up around Glen View....may he now Rest in Peace.....

So sorry to hear of Alden's passing. We always enjoyed our chats with Alden - he had great insight to many issues, as well as in his conversations. We remember him especially for the kindness to which he responded to our grandson who asked him one Sunday what happened to his eye - he very kindly explained what had happened and asked if he would like to see it, and when told yes, he showed him and explained it all to him in words understandable by a curious child. Any visit found you coming home with something from his garden. Blessings Marjorie and family.
