Mrs. Glenda, I am very sorry for your loss. Mr. Charles always, without failing, shared a wonderful smile around church and events. I have a lovely photo of the two of you dancing from the 2018 Valentine Dinner. Let Light Perpetual Shine Upon Him. Many peaceful blessings ahead. -Mary Lynn G

My sincere Condolences to the family, you are in my prayers.I knew and grew up with his sister Darlene when they lived in McKinley Projects, I lived in Woodstock Terrace which was right behind their building in The Bronx. As we got older everybody started "branching out" and I hadn't seen them in years, but I just read about his passing and was saddened to hear of this. May he Rest In Peace.

Michelle Ward Atlanta, GA.

Our condolences to our cousin Glenda. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Charles knight. When I first became a probationary Police Officer, at PSA 6, Charles was one of the first Officers on. He always had a smile on his face and he always looked out for me. He will always be remembered by me as a good Brother and friend and I'm going to miss him dearly. To his family, I pray that the One God ,who created Heaven and Earth be pleased with my brother and comfort the entire family. Phillip Hannah

My condolences to the Knight Family: "Chico" (a.k.a. Charles Knight) was mine and my brother, Jerry's, friend at Christopher Columbus H.S. In 1963/64, there were only a handful of black students, in a predominately white school. In our group of about 10, Chico was among the funniest. During lunch hour, we always ate at the same tables everyday,of course it wasn't hard to spot us in a sea of whites and laughter echoed throughout the cafeteria wherever we gathered--it was our best time of the day! These memories will always remain a delightful moment in time and will be cherished eternally. "Chico, rest in peace" Many blessings... Yvonne Walker

Our condolences to the knight family as you go through this most difficult time. We worked with Charlie in the private sector. He was a true gentleman rest in peace, my friend. Pat Hyland/Joe Pascarella

I've known Knight for many years because of a mutual friendship with James Perry. He was a great person who showed us love when we visited. Rest in peace. You and Perry are together again. Our condolences to the family. With sympathy John and Adrienne Thompson

It was a pleasure knowing him. He is now partners again with Perry. Condolences to the family and rest in peace Knight.

I wanted to send my deepest condolences to the Knight Family. Chinko and my late father James Perry were NYPD partners. All my life Mr Knight and my dad were inseparable! They worked together, played softball together and we were always celebrating together. Mrs. Knight, Deidra & Khalil and Cj, you all have my deepest condolences. Love, Vashiona Perry-Moore

Please except my sincerest heartfelt condolences. Charlie was a police officer when I became an officer years later. He was a terrific person with a good sense of humor and always had a smile RIP my friend until we meet again. William Rodriguez
