The Knee Family
Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss of a great father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend. We will miss seeing Percy at our church suppers, or driving through Exeter to pick up someone for a ride, or dropping someone else off at an appointment. His big beige car was always a sign that Percy was out and about and that all was well. I know he meant even more to each one of his family than he did to the many people he helped out over the years. His companionship was a blessing to many people. He will be missed. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

Condolence from Elas and Mike Oliver on March 27th, 2018 5:57 PM

I can never express how sorry I am to hear of your father’s death. I am totally shattered in sadness after hearing this news. Please accept our condolence our hearts go out to you and your loved ones ……………May God give you peace and strength to handle this tough time of sadness. Percy and I were childhood Friends , but more like Sister and Brother until our lives took a turn in two different directions… Later years when we met each other if i had my hands in my pockets, he would always ask me if my hands were cold. He would also tell me we could have been sister and Brother..I will always remember that. Rest in Peace my Brother along with your loved one Violet. My heart is breaking … We will meet again some day

To the Knee Family,
My deepest condolences to you and your families. I had the pleasure of routinely meeting Percy when he would drop off his paper work for One Care which he was truly dedicated too, we shares lots of laughs and he never turned down a hug. May the memories that you have created together provide comfort to you at this time.
Warmest Regards,
Julie Grimminck

Condolence from June Morenz on March 28th, 2018 12:29 PM

Dear Nina and Families: We are sorry about Perry’s passing. We knew he was I’ll, but didn’t want to think about the final results. I was fortunate to meet Percy when Don Adams first introduced me at Tims, he could always put a smile/laugh on our faces with his Newfie sense of humour.

I met him a couple of weeks ago at the hospital, and even though he was ill, he still made a joke. That was our Percy!

May your wonderful memories carry you through this difficult time.

Condolence from Donna Masse on March 28th, 2018 3:04 PM

May care and love of those around you provide comfort and peace to get you through the days ahead. He will live on in your memories forever.
Our heartfelt condolences.
Donna Masse & Jim Leveck and family
