I was saddened to learn of Al's passing. Al was like a second father to me after my own father passed away at a young age. He was always willing to give advice as well as share his wealth of knowledge when asked. Al was a talented man in so many ways. He never ceased to amaze me when he tackled any kind of repair. I will miss his friendly smile, extended hand, pat on the back and our interesting conversations. My condolences to the Kneeshaw family and extended families. - Posted by: Barry Lovegrove (Friend of the family.) on: Feb 05, 2015

I was sad to hear of the passing of Mr.Kneeshaw. I knew him as the father of my childhood friend Lynn and as a man who was always concerned for his children. When Lynn and I went to Westwood Collegiate it was a long way to walk and in the winter, before there was a school bus, her father would drive us to school in his Hudson automobile. This is the memory that came to mind when my sister told me she had seen his obituary and knew that I had been friends with Lynn. My condolences to the whole family. - Posted by: Doris St Germain (Friend from the past) on: Jan 04, 2015
