Condolence: I knew my father, Tasker (Tack) Cook also a Legionnaire, SJRFD and 166th veteran held Mr. Leo Knox in high regard. As young lads my twin brother and I tagged along when our dad was visiting his war time friend, I have very good memories of those visits.
My sincere condolences, We shall remember them!

Condolence: Unfortunately, I was out of town last weekend and only learned of Mr. Knox's passing Sunday night. It has been many years but I have great memories hanging out with Rod, Steve, and of course Doug-less around the Knox's residence. Mr. Knox had great wit and it showed every time we showed up at the house looking for Rod.
I was glad to see Mr. and Mrs. Knox at the War Memorial Nov 2018 and have a chat with Rod again.
I wish you all the best during this difficult time.
Take Care.
Derek

Condolence From: Doug less Pendergast
Condolence: My earliest memory at 3 years old is Leo telling me as i was playing on his lawn with Rod that my new baby brother was coming home from the hospital. From this early age to my teens- tbe Knox household was my second home....for close to 5o years Mr.Knox would get amusement (as would I) when he would question why i was so lazy and didn't dig more ....cuz my parents of course named me Dug-less(Douglas). From camping trips on the northern penninsula...to blueberry picking on labour day...to summer days in Open Hall he treated me like his third son. Mr. Knox was a larger than life character..witty...a prankster and a great story teller.....i could write a book...but can't decide if it should be about the war veteran- who seldom talked of his war experiences or if it could be an adventure novel about the pioneer days of the "HEIGHTS"...perhaps a joke book...either way I'm sure it would be a best seller.
My condolences go first to Mrs. Knox- my second mom of my youth. Rod - We have some many stories to share of your dad and my thoughts are with you along with Kathy Stephanie Greta and Pat.Wish i was there to celebrate your dad's great life.
LOVE and Hugs - Dug-less Pendergast.

Condolence: My first husband Joe Boudreau (passed away 1989) often spoke fondly of his Uncle Leo (his mother Evelyn's brother) and Aunt Mary. He grew up in Dartmouth, N.S. but I think enjoyed many visits from Leo and Mary when he was younger and also visited them in St. John's. Later on when Joe lived in Calgary, Leo and Mary would come to visit their son Pat and meet up with Joe at the same time. I do remember that Joe was very proud of his uncle Leo and all his accomplishments while working with the St. John's fire department. On behalf of Joe's daughter Annie and his grandsons Austin and Reid, and myself..we would like to send our sincere condolences to Mary and her family for their loss.
