Robert Knippel
Robert was born in the small northwestern town of Menomonie, WI.  To feed his growing desire for serving people, he began his training for the public ministry.  He received a Bachelor of Liberal Arts from Northwestern College, Watertown, WI, and a Master of Divinity from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Thiensville, WI.  Robert served as pastor for ten years in Rice Lake, WI before serving ten years as pastor in Madison, WI.  One of the true joys in his parish ministry involved serving families at their time of loss, and eventually his career focus turned to funeral service.  Robert serves as Preplanning Funeral Consultant, joining the Heritage family in August 2010.  Robert and his wife of 20 years, Mary Beth, have two teenaged children, Emily and Tyler.  Robert enjoys traveling, woodworking and some newly discovered family time!
