James Victor Knowlton
August 30, 1937 Mt. Clemens, MI -
August 25, 2010 Twin Lake, MI
It is with heavy hearts that my mother and I and the rest of the Knowlton family mourn the loss of James Victor Knowlton, beloved uncle, brother, husband, father and grandfather, who passed away on August 25, 2010 at his home in Twin Lake, MI of a brain tumor. Jim was one of the kindest and most generous people to ever walk this earth, and he gave selflessly of himself to help others throughout his entire life to its untimely end. I have countless fond memories of Jim, as does everyone who was fortunate enough to know him, and he will be sorely missed by all.
His full obituary in the Muskegon Chronicle may be read here:

In honor of his remarkable life, I intend to develop this genealogy blog over the ensuing months and years into the James Victor Knowlton Memorial Virtual Museum of the Knowlton Family, which shall serve as an online repository and exhibition space for all of our genealogical research, as well as various family images and artifacts.
Jim as a younger man with a hefty stringer of trout. Fishing was one of Jim's many outdoor passions and the one I shared the most with him.
Jim with me in the summer of 2006 with two of a large haul of smallmouth bass at my uncle Leslie Laverne Knowlton's cottage on Big Bear Lake, Lewiston, MI. One of the many, yet far too few, wonderful fishing excursions we had together. A large family fish fry ensued shortly after this photo was taken.
