NEW MIDDLETOWN – There will be a funeral service held on July 30, 2009 at 11 a.m. at the Victory Christian Center, 3899 McCartney Road, Lowellville, OH 44436, with Pastor David Thomas officiating for Clarence “Corny” McKnight, 71, who passed into his eternal resting place on Sunday, July 26, 2009, with his loved ones surrounding him after a courageous nine-month battle with pancreatic cancer.
Clarence “Corny” McKnight was born Oct. 3, 1938, the son of Cloyce (Cotton) Katherine (Kate) Groh McKnight. Everyone always asks, “Where did he get his name?” One of his father’s best friends said, “If you name that baby Clarence, I’ll never call him that, but will call him Corny.”
While in high school, Corny was employed with Kroger’s Grocery Store in Hubbard, and then was employed with Stambaugh Thompsons, Republic Steel, McKay Machine, and Packard Electric/Delphi.
Even from his sick bed, Corny was always spreading the gospel and teaching others about Jesus and His messages. For several years he was an active Sunday school teacher with the Petersburg Presbyterian Church, the New Life Assembly, and the Victory Christian Center and bible study leader at several churches. Corny also cared for shut-ins and leaves a great legacy to all who came in contact with him.
Corny had many hobbies and interests but some that he enjoyed the most were snow skiing, golfing, hunting, gardening, playing tennis and racquet ball, but most of all he loved going to breakfast with his family and friends. He was truly a mentor in every sense of the word. Corny also was active in the Hubbard Reunion Committee from the Class of 1956.
He is survived by his loving and devoted wife, Dolores (Dolly) Lewis and would have been married 50 years this Oct. 24. Their love has been an inspiration to everyone who met them and they provided wonderful examples for their three daughters, Judy (Kevin) Hughes, Denise (Jeff) Huffman and Kelley (Rick) Horvath. His memory will be cherished by his seven granddaughters, Megan and Lauren Hughes, Kayla, Ashley and Melissa Huffman, Madison and Alivia Horvath. His sister, Marlene Koenig, will always have an empty space in her heart for her dear brother.
He was preceded in death by his mother and father; a brother-in-law, Bob Koenig; mother-in-law and father-in-law, Frank and Annie Lewis; and a sister-in-law, Francine Barton.
Friends may call today, July 29, 2009, from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Victory Christian Center, 3899 McCartney Road in Lowellville.
Arrangements were entrusted to the professional care of the Rossi & Santucci Funeral Home, 4700 Market St. in Boardman.
