I'm so sorry for your loss. I met you through my business partner Paul Schmidt. It was a pleasure to meet you on several occasions, weddings, funerals, and even speaking occasionally at various St Paul's programs.

Russ "The Rev" Knoth was an invaluable asset at the Menomonee Falls Police Department. His legacy will live on in the countless lives he touched and the positive impact he had on this department. His wisdom, his faith, and his unwavering belief in a higher good were an inspiration to us all. He wasn't just a spiritual leader; he was a part of the MFPD family. He celebrated our successes and assisted many of us when we were struggling with a genuine love that touched every officer and staff member. Today, we feel the immense pain of his absence, but we also feel the profound gratitude for having had him in our lives. With the greatest amount of appreciation for all that he did for us.
