Vicki, Pike and Bobby:
I was sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I still remember all the fun I had with y'all, him and your mom. Some of the best times of my life. I have lost my father and my wifes mother, the pain and loss ease with time but never goes away. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

My heart goes out to each of you for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Monk was a wonderful man and friend to all that knew him.

Although I only met him briefly on a few occasions, Monk would get talked about every now and then during a family gathering. You see, my dad, Percy Minton, was 4 days older than Monk and they grew up together in Lewiston. I wish I knew more about those years. Dad took me to meet Monk one day at the General Assembly, then I saw him again later when I was a page for a week in the House. Dad was also proud to take me to the dedication for the bridge. I just finished sorting through some more...

Diane, Bob, Pike, Vicki and family,
Monk was a sweet. generous and vibrant soul and loving family man. I thought the service was a lovely tribute to him and his life of service and great love for others. I'm so glad he passed away in the wee hours of the morning so peacefully into God's Kingdom and did not suffer. May his unconditional /selfless and steadfast love sustain each if you in the days ahead and may Gods abiding love comfort you and give you peace

Diane, Bob, Pike and Vicki,

Diane, Pike, Bob & Vicki,

I wanted to let you know your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I was always proud of his many accomplishments. All the family reunions at the clubhouse and many more. Daddy "Jake" related some stories of when they were younger. Take care and know that he is now in a
better place.
