So sorry to hear about Pete. I grew up in the Charles City Road house that Pete purchased around 1964! I said goodbye to Hinton Martin and Susan Vaughan and hello to Mechanicsville. The rest of my life, every time I drive by there I think of Pete Knight, Hinton, Susan, and Sam’s Store and Sam and Adele who lived next door.

Again, sorry for your loss.
George Brill III (Little George)

I am so very sorry for your loss. I have been getting hay from Mr. Knight for several years and always enjoyed our talks. He always had a story and loved to talk about his grandson! He always asked about my family and truly cared.  He was a true gentleman and will be greatly missed. 


I can’t remember a time in my life without the Knight family!  Wonderful people, kind, giving and gracious.  Thank you Bubba and Jerry!


I have lost a dear friend. He was kind, generous, loving, and caring. Pete and Carlton loved to play tricks on Randy like the garden and the lawnmower. Pete, you and Randy are together again. Please don’t get in trouble in Heaven. God bless you my friend. I will miss you!

The members of Henrico Retired School Personnel Association extend their sincere condolences to the family of Pete Knight and our appreciation for his many dedicated years of service from which  all of us benefited.     

Donna and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing.  I remember him from the Eastern Government Center when I worked in the Finance area there.   He always had a smile on his face.  May God grant you peace during this difficult time, I know you will miss him.

Pete was a true gentleman and a man of his word.  He always was thinking of others and did whatever he could for everyone.  God has a Special Angel in Heaven!  We will miss you!  Grace

Judy and family I was saddened to hear of Pete’s passing he and you all hold a dear spot in my heart and I pray God blesses and keeps you tight in his capable loving hands during this time.  He was a wonderful man, full of love and joy and will be missed.  Prayers 
Mary

Pete you will be missed by so many . Pete you where one of a kind.  You care so much for others. Always checking on everyone. To the family I pray for peace and comfort at this time. Judy I’m here if you need anything. Much love Kay 

To the Knight family,
Sorry to hear about the passing of Pete.  I grew up 2 houses down from you guys on Charles City Road. I can remember my dad Danny Shrader setting me on the soda pop machine at Cauthorns after a long work day while the guys chatted and had a beer.  The last time I saw Pete was at the old Stage Coach restaurant in Mechanicsville with Mrs. Knight many years ago.  Pete still had that crazy smile I remember and that contagious laugh.  I'll keep your family in my prayers.
