I never knew Bill Knight but as a third cousin of his widow, Lola, who was more like a beloved aunt, I heard many stories of him. Thanks to this website I finally know the details of his sad and untimely death, which occurred more than a year before I was born. Lola grieved for Bill until her death in 2003. He was her hero, and a true hero to our whole family. May God bless them both, and bless all police officers who daily put their lives on the line to protect us. We can never thank you enough.
