He was happy and well known by neighbors as very generous and was always helping others who were in need.

Anita Ann Knobloch was born in Olney, Texas March 19, 1938, to Fredrich Carl Knobloch and Dorothy Kunkel.  She graduated from Megargel High School and then attended Draun's Business School.  She then worked at Southwestern Bell Telephone which changed later to AT&T Telephone.  She worked there for 34 years and had perfect attendance when she retired! She loved needlework and sewing and loved playing chicken feet dominos at church weekly.  She loved her cats; Cougar, Sugarbritches, and Romeo.  She was also nicknamed "Poodles" by her mom.  She loved her daddy and loved putting permanent rollers in his hair. But most of all she loved Pete, her "Snooky Bear."  The loving couple was married for 59 years until his death in 2020.
