I used to baby sit the three boys when they lived above the old store until it burned. I gave him the nickname Mono Deno and shortened it to mono as he grew older. Rest in Peace

Mono was a wonderful person who always had a smile on his face and a pleasure to see at the Golf course. He gave me some tips on how to improve my game which I still use today. I always enjoyed talking to him. He made you feel welcome and happy. He will be missed. I will remember him for the positive and upbeat effect he had on people. A great role model. My condolences to his family at this time.
