Not sure what to say?

Miss your handsome smile and winsome ways,Monty! I treasured our friendship. You did so many things for other people, improving the lives of others with your talents. Miss you

Rest In Peace my friend. Met Monty in Albuquerque where we played football together. We were roommates in the dorm and then shared an apartment together. Even rented a bedroom to him after I got married. Was the best man in my wedding in Ruidoso and boy did we have a bachelor party. We were always together in college and he was always taking care of me. Monty was always having to step in and protect me when my big mouth got me in trouble. Monte would greet people with "Hey Hotrod" so everyone...

So saddened today to hear Monty passed away recently. I met him around '75 at the College Inn where we both lived. He was a coaching assistant for the Lobos football team at the time and I was a senior yr student at UNM. We dated for a few months and he always made everything so much fun. I remember a party we went to and dancing - him lifting me high up in the air! Driving home late at night with another couple in his Cutlass on a snowy road downhill - just for fun he stepped on the brake...

So sad to hear of Monty's passing. We sat beside each other in some high school classes. Deepest sympathy to his family.

Rest easy Monty. We had a lot of fun times so many years ago in Wichita Falls, Muenster and Durango. Monty was adventurous, generous and entertaining, to say the least. I can visualize many moments from the past but one comes to mind from Muenster when Monty decided to stand up on one of the buffaloes on the ranch! Kind thoughts to his family and friends.

Monty was larger than life! My earliest memory had to be when I was about 7 or 8, we were home to Grannies and he would take me with him in his old car, we went for parts to some old junk yard. We had a ball! Allways made time for the cousins!
Remember when Ganny died, we were goin through her pictures and there was a professional head shot of Monty with his Magnum mustache and curly hair to go with it! Regret life getting in the way later and not making time to go see him.
See you...

He was my classmate and my neighbor in high school. Always such a nice guy and always smiling. He will be missed by all of us Coyotes!

THE LAST TIME THAT I saw Monty was at Ron Jackson's lake house at Possum Kingdom Lake. Ron, Monty and all of us were sitting around arm wrestling each other. Monty and I shared the fact that we both liked to barefoot ski. He and I compared techniques of barefoot skiing. Oh, by the way, Monty beat me at arm wrestling. He was a great guy.

i met Monty at the YMCA weight room dungeon when i was 16 lifting weights. Monty was already off at University of New Mexico playing football. He was built like Arnold S. He was so nice and showed me some great tricks he had learned working out that i still use today and have shared with many people over the decades,usually giving Monty Moore the credit for their source.
A few years later Monty was in town for the summer from college, as i was, and we worked at the same construction...
