As a bank executive, Herb Knoll was known as a man who could get the job done. But when Knoll lost his wife to cancer he found few resources that could help him recover. And the more he learned about the plight of widowers, from high suicide rates to physical and emotional problems, the more he became motivated to write a book with fellow widowers, for fellow widowers.

Knoll's The Widower's Journey tackles tough questions and provides advice on many topics, including:

  • how men can process grief
  • keeping healthy during stressful times
  • managing a career while coping with loss
  • drawing strength from your faith
  • reentering the dating world
  • dealing with the issues that sex, dating, and marriage create
  • parenting as a widower
  • solving financial and legal problems
  • preserving your late partner's memory for yourself and for family and friends

Knoll breaks down barriers that block men in their journeys to recovery. He encourages men to seek out the fellowship of other widowers, and he provides resources that men need to move forward.

He also identifies how society fails widowers, and spells out how institutions need to change so widowers can receive the support they deserve.

Herb Knoll knows the profound grief that comes with being a widower. After his wife, Michelle, died in 2008, he looked through the self-help section of his local bookstore but quickly realized there were few resources available for widowers. Knoll wrote The Widower's Journey, a guide designed to help other widowers heal.

Knoll is a retired bank executive, marketer, and professional speaker and seminar leader turned widower advocate. He founded Michelle's Angels Foundation, Inc., a not-for-profit with a mission to "provide love, hope, compassion, and comforting music to those who quietly suffer." (See MichellesAngel.com.) Knoll also founded the Widowers Support Network in 2014 (see WidowersSupportNetwork.com), so he could better serve, comfort, and assist widowers.

Knoll has served as a weekly columnist for the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle, a contributing writer for Sales & Marketing Management and Marketing Times magazines, and as a professional voice talent. PBS affiliate WNED produced and aired the three-part series Today's Executive featuring Herb and his business insights which were the subject of his book, The Total Executive.

As the former spokesperson for KeyBank (NY) and later as president of Marketplace Bank (FL), Knoll frequently appeared on radio and television. A dynamic public speaker, Knoll has been the featured speaker at conferences, conventions, universities and corporate gatherings across the country.

Knoll won the first annual Piero DiMitri Executive Image Award and was inducted into the Buffalo/Niagara Sales and Marketing Executives Hall of Fame. Knoll lives in Lake Mary, Florida, with his current wife, Maria.
