Monte lives on in all of us that met him. He always had a car story, good advice on how to fix VW's or motorcycles, that "one elusive missing" car part and that wonderful twinkle in his eye. One of the nicest men ever.

Nancy, my heart is going out to you during this difficult time. It was such a privelege to know Monte. And it was so neat hearing all the stories of your life together! Praying God will fill you with happy memories of the past and powerful thoughts of him in the presence of King Jesus. With Love, Jeff Saltzmann
