5 Things to Know About the Knowles


5 Things to Know about the Knowles
1) Family is the most important priority, both our relationship with each other and our relationship with our extended family. We work hard to keep our relationship strong and stable. We love spending time with our extended family and loving on our sweet nieces. 
2) Our faith in God is the guiding light in our lives. We are member of the LDS faith and love to learn and serve in our church. We enjoy attending the temple together to strengthen our connection to each other and God. 
3) Adventures are a big part of our life. Whether close to home or far away we like to find new, fun experiences to have together. Our most recent adventure was exploring the beautiful Oregon and Washington coast. 
4) We strive to be self-sufficient. This means we work hard at our jobs, grow a garden, have chickens, can food, and refurbish older furniture to look new. We are frugal but enjoy making our home a welcoming and beautiful place to be. 
5) Our furry friends are a fun part of our lives. We have two dogs that bring a lot of silliness and fun into our home. We love to play with them and watch all the crazy things they do.

PaPa Kris

Name: PaPa (Kris) Career: Upon graduation I attended a Technical School studying Diesel Mechanics. I then started at Vulcraft when the plant opened and was a Leadman there over the riggers. I helped my father-in-law on the side at his Autobody repair shop, and that started my love of automobiles and the career to which I have been involved for 35 years. We purchased the shop from him when he retired and I decided to leave the same name (Bobs Body Shop) in honor of him. Me and my wife have worked side by side for 30 years, running a very successful business. Has it always been easy - probably not, but worth it - definitely so. I have instilled this love of the Autobody business in my son and nephew who work by my side daily also. Proud to say it will continue on as a third generation business. Favorite food: Mexican is probably at the top, but I am a true meat and potatoes man. I love a good hamburger and like to try new things when we are traveling. Love pumpkin- chocolate chips co...
