When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. Our loving husband, dad, grandpa, great grandpa and brother, Emory M. Knight Sr., 76, of Ridge Road, McGraw, N.Y., and formerly of Bumpville, Pa., passed away on Saturday, May 14, 2011 at his home. Emory was born on March 17, 1935 in Huntington, Vt., a son of the late William and Hazel (Walton) Knight. On Sept. 20, 1955 he married Evelyn Babcock and together they had ten children. A man of many trades, Emory was an auto mechanic for many area dealerships and owned his own scrap yard.
