Do you not know? Have you not heard: The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power.
( Isaiah 40 : 28-29 )

ANDOVER Karl R. Knubby
Wittie, 61, passed away unexpectedly,
Tuesday (Jan. 2, 2007) at Jones

Mr. Wittie was born on Nov. 22,
1945 in Wellsville to Richard P.
and Neva B. (Yocham) Wittie.
He was a 1964 graduate of Andover
Central School and later graduated
from Alfred Agricultural & Technical
College. On Nov. 21, 1986, in
Andover, he married Kathy L. Hunt,
who survives.

Karl served in the United States
Navy from 1964 - 1968. Later, he
founded KW Industries, specializing
in commercial contracting for the
past 40 years.

In addition to his wife and
mother, Karl is survived by a
daughter, Karla (Patrick) McArdle
of Andover; two sons, Kyle Wittie
and Kolton Wittie, also of Andover;
four grandchildren, Ryan McArdle,

In addition to his father, he was

he was an Andover Village Board

and past president of the Andover
Chamber of Commerce and worked
diligently on Andovers Main Street

But above all these, he was a family

The Garden of Promise
There is a place, I have been told,
Beyond an open gate
All have been invited
Where friends and loved ones wait
It holds eternal promise
Of everlasting peace
No pain or sorrow ever comes
And teardrops there have ceased
Abundant life is evident
Constant, fresh and new
A garden of provision
With Eternity in view
The promise is awaiting
A place we can abide
Fulfilled for all who answer
The call to come inside.
