Rev. Harold Knight, 80, of Goshen, Indiana, achieved his lifelong goal of meeting Jesus Christ face to face on Wednesday, July 29, at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis.

Harold was born in LaGrange, Indiana on July 10, 1940 to Harold and Eva (Yoder) Knight.

On June 6, 1964, he married Faith Bridges in Flint, Michigan. They have two sons, Jeff and Chris.
