"Dad was definitely always consistently there, to the minute," Timothy Knowles says. "If ever there was an issue or a problem at school, he would always be there."
Timothy Knowles says he shares his father's passion for working with his hands. Along with a capacity for solving problems through trial and error, Knowles says this love for handiwork is an inheritance from his own father.
"We were very poor in those days, and if father needed a wall, you figured out how to make a wall and you made it," Knowles says. "There was very much a sense of experimentation and figuring things out for yourself."
Knowles says that his experiences as an officer and a father presented him with a sense of responsibility which still colors his mindset as dean.
Although Knowles is a scientist in both his academic interest and his love of meticulousness, he also has a deep personal connection to the fine arts.
