I am so sorry to hear this news on last night when Helen called me. Wish I could have made it to pay my respect. I remember living next door waiting for Montgomery to come home to give me a ride on the motorcycle as a child. I miss my childhood live in Norfolk. My prayers are with the entire family. I remember how Montgomery and Flora Wills were there for me and my family and I will never forget that. [email protected]
