I have known Allen Knutson since I was a little girl. He will truly be missed and summers will never be the same. The DK pulling team will no longer exist. He will be gone, but NEVER forgotten.
Love you AK. May you rest in peace.

Al has been our painter for the last forty plus years. Not only was his work always impeccable, he was also a pleasure to have in the house. Always cheerful , with helpful ideas, going out of his ways to accommodate us , coming sometimes even on the weekend. We are sad about his death and will sorely miss him. Our condolences to the Knutson familiy.
