He has been a volunteer firefighter since 1960, although he is now an active exempt member.
He worked at the village Department of Public Works for 23 years, retiring in 2010.
Knowlton now serves on the village board as a trustee, being elected in 2014.
The Heuvelton Village Board has honored Knowlton, a man who has given so much to the community over the years, by naming the new pavilion after him at the Heuvelton boat launch.
âSometimes, things just seem to be a good fit. Having spent his life in service of the residents of Heuvelton, it seemed appropriate to name our pavilion in honor of a man who has set the bar high when it comes to community service,â said Mayor Barbara Lashua.
