John J. Monteiro

Rest in peace. I´ll miss you every day. I love you. - Kristina

Rest in peace. I love you.

I miss you everyday, you were the best grandpa I could have ever asked for. I cherish all of the car rides to practices, games, and tournaments with jazz lightly playing. The times you would pick me up from wrestling practice to give me food when I couldn´t eat! All the talks, quotes, and life advice that you would share with me. Your positive outlook on life and eagerness to live makes it seem impossible you could ever leave us. I know you´re with grandma and I know one day we will be back...

May he rest in peace and beyond. May God grant you and your family the strength to bear this loss. John helped many at the Springfield Court Complex.

Always had to stop and say hi to John on entering the courthouse. He was a true gentleman. Loved sharing restaurant suggestions with him. He will be missed.

To the Monteiro Family, We were saddened to hear of the loss of Mr. Monteiro. I enjoyed seeing him at the courthouse and then at the athletic fields watching his grandchildren. We are keeping your family in our prayers. Sincerely, Brendan O'Toole and Family

So sorry to learn of John's passing. He was a good friend to me during my years at the Hampden County Courthouse. He was a gentleman and a great source of information whose presence there will be sorely missed.

My deep sympathy to John's family. Through the years, he shared many stories of his family, and always asked after and remembered my four children which I deeply appreciated that human connection in the midst of all that happens in a day in the courthouse. A kinder soul could not be found in the courthouse, a place he made kinder and gentler with his warm presence and affable smile and generous way of extending his heart. I am holding you all in my heart and know John rests in grace and...

Bon voyage to the king of kings! John was a treasure to our legal community. He imparted wisdom and guidance to all who entered the Roderick Ireland courthouse. I have no doubt he is lighting up heaven. I will miss him here on earth.
