John J Knotek's Obituary
John J. Knotek, Jr. (79) passed away on Thursday 5/19/22 at his home with his wife, Suzie, and his daughter, Emily, by his side. John was married to Suzie for 50 years and is survived by both her and his daughter. After proudly serving in the U.S. Army overseas, John obtained a degree in Accounting and became a public accountant, working at Arthur Andersen before eventually going on to build his own accounting and investment practice. John was an avid sportsman throughout his life, beginning with football and softball and, later in life, he took up golf. In addition to his savvy investment knowledge, John was well-known for his wonderful sense of humor, infectious laugh, and his smirk of amusement when something tickled his funny bone. In addition to his wife and daughter, John is survived by his very devoted family of his siblings Edward (Toni), Gerry (late Linda), Anne (Tom), and David (Maryanne) and many loving nieces and nephews. He was always impressed by the accomplishments of his daughter and nieces and nephews, including several Ph.D.'s a pediatrician, and very successful business owners as well as devoted parents. A private service will be held for family and close friends at a later date. In memory of John, contributions can be made to St. Anselm's Church in Chesterland, or to the Hospice of the Western Reserve. You can also sign the tribute wall at www.ShapiroFuneral.com.
