    Notes:

    Frederick William Knechtel passed away March 3, 2001 in his 98th year. He was born July 19, 1903 in Petersburg, Ontario, one of five children. The family later moved to nearby Kitchener. A cabinet maker by trade, he was employed by Malcom and Hill Ltd. to design and build radio cabinets. He later formed his own company manufacturing some of the earliest trailers. In 1936 he sold his company to Canada Carriage & Body Ltd. of Brantford and was hired to supervise this part of their business. In 1938 the company became Brantford coach & Body Ltd. With the outbreak of the Second World War, production was geared to building military vehicles and Fred Knechtel was appointed Factory Manager, a position he held until retiring from the company in 1958. During this period he was a key figure in the design of the "Brant Chief" line of all aluminium tractor trailers, a first in the industry. Upon leaving coach and Body, he formed the woodworking business known as Knechtel bros. Ltd. which is still in operation today. F.W.'s son Donald and his son James Knechtel continue the tradition of fine quality woodworking to this day. He spent his retirement years wintering in Florida and his summers in Ontario. He has been a resident of Charlotte Villa for the past ten years. He is survived by two son, Donald (and wife Kate) of St. Williams, Ontario, Frederick (and wife Betty) of Port Dover; three daughters, Jean (Mrs. Alan Goodwin) of Cleveland, Ohio, Joyce (Mrs. Donald White) of Stoney Creek, Ontario, and Doreen (Mrs. Howard Tackaberry) of Winnipeg, Manitoba; 16 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. His wife Hilda predeceased him in 1983. Cremation has taken place. A Memorial Service will be held at a later date.
