So very sorry for your loss. May God grant you peace and comfort during your time of loss and sorrow. I have not seen Monty since we were teenagers. It is amazing that we lived in the same general vicinity and had not seen each other in all those years.
Very very sorry for your loss. I worked with Monty down in Hannibal when Dura was called Hannicon. He was a very nice guy. I was shocked to hear of his passing. Didn’t realize he was battling cancer. It’s a horrible thing and cares nothing about what age a person is. Again I’m sorry to all the family for losing such a great guy at such a young age.
