Please accept my sincere condolences. Mr Montroy was my art teacher at North Central my senior year (1969-70), and he was the best teacher I ever had. He really cared about us, inspired us, brought out the best in us, and made learning fun. Because of him and his class I went on to get a degree in Interior Design. I'm sure God will have a very special place for him in heaven.
