I think it must be over 50 years ago I was heading to third beach and came across Bob and Billy hand digging the foundation for M&M HOUSE NUMBER ONE on Shorewood near beach three. The Monahan boys, or just "the Boys" soon became a social center as they extoled the beauty of cement block construction to anyone who stopped to see. Several years later M&M house number two, incorporating many improvements, rose from the lot next door. Bob spent many hours helping keep my Martin outboard running, I'm still waiting on my hearing to recover, and he was always greeting visiters with a smile. Eventually M&M stopped hand digging, got machines, and moved uptown but he is fondly remembered as are his brothers and parents as really good people who knew how to be good neighbors.
Rest in Peace.

Rest peacefully Mr.Monahan!! I remember the days I first started my job as a nurse at the Boston VA hospital,the three Monahan Brothers were some of the first people I met here,and it was always a pleasure!! Through the years,I had the occasion to see Robert at the hospital and he always had a hug and a smile..Truly a special person and someone who will not be forgotten.
