MONT MICKELSON

My first memory of my Uncle Mont was when I was just five. Dad had just bought a new house in Bountiful. Mont and Max came numerous times over the summer to help put in the yard and get the house set up.

Mont inspired us to visit the museum in Wendover a few years ago. We enjoyed hearing of some of Mont's experiences while serving with the B-29 unit that played such a significant role in ending the war with Japan. He was rightfully proud of his service to our country during that...

We didn't find out about Uncle Mont's passing until this afternoon. That's what happens when you move out of state, I guess. Mont was my favorite uncle. I especially enjoyed the time I spent with him and Ruth the last visit I made. We copied genealogical documents and told family stories. Uncle Mont was a gentleman and a gentle man. I will miss him.

Sorry to hear of Mont's passing. Due to a fracture in my hip, I was out of my home for four months. Sorry I haven't been in touch. Love always, Beth

I had the wonderful opportunity of taking Mont out to Wendover last April, to participate in a press conference announcing Wendover Airfield's Enola Gay Hanger as one of America's 11 Most Endangered Places by the National Trust For Historic Preservation. In the several hours that I spent with Mont, I gained some great insight into the history of this great airfield that I love, while enjoying Oreos and Dr. Peppers. I also gained a friend and an example of the type of person that I want to...

Mont was like a grandpa for my kids. He was even able to attend Abby's baptism and stand in the circle for her confirmation. He was like family, even writing to my dad when he was in Iraq. He will be greatly missed, yet forever held dear in our hearts.

Ruth, Rob & Chris,
We send our condolences to you at this time of your husband and father's passing. Please know that our love and prayers are with you and your family.
