Not sure what to say?

Monte was my physics teacher at Fulton High School. He inspired me to build a solar cell from a kit that he purchased. This was long before anyone considered it as a real source of electricity. He got me interested in photography and developing my own pictures. What an inspiration he was to all that were near him!! He is remembered and missed.

Monte was my uncle although he was only eleven months older than me. He was so special to me . We were like syblings and had lots of adventures together often getting into a lot of mischief. Mostly we shared a lot of laughs, Peace, love, prayers to Nanci and all who miss him.

Best Principal I ever had! I remember Miss Julie Butler taking the whole music class to his office to sing "Czuhai, don't bother me!" (Instead of Shoo-fly - because we kept singing it that way instead. I will always remember his smile and his kindness.

You know that you´ve lost such an energetic & fun personality! Monte was my principal at Alpine Elementary & then I had the fun of seeing him in Sparta when he worked for GVSU. He´s enjoying seeing his family again!

Monte was a superior motivator ! A big supporter of our AP classes !! I WILLMISS HIM

My 1st principal. Brand new school. He was truly 1 of a kind. Warm and friendly but firm and strict at the same time. Any time I see my old friends from Alpine his name comes up and we all talk about what a great principle he was. RIP.

I remember an experiment at Walker Jr. High science class. Me. Czuhai showed us how soap makes water wetter. I never forgot that. He was one of a kind. RIP.

I was lucky enough to have Mr Czuhai as a science teacher in 8th grade at the KHJH way back in 1968. He brought an infectious positive energy to the class room that I never forgot. RIP Monte!!!

We are so very sorry for your loss. My kids grew up in Zinser school and I worked for Monte temporarily. He was a real gift and will be missed.
