Patrick E. White wrote a sympathy message

“My condolences to Coach Knutson's family and friends. I ran cross country for h from 1964-1967 at Dixon High School. He was a kind, encouraging, and serious but funny coach who taught me a lot about being a teacher and leader. I was proud to be a captain of his team. As a college professor of English and later as President at Wabash College and Millikin University, I have continued a love of the sport and relayed Coach's wisdom and humor. His life was a gift to me and so many. Pat White”
