Not sure what to say?

My elder son was in Sensei Montero's judo class in San Jose. What a welcoming group of competitors. Bill made you feel like family, while insisting his students act with respect and kindness, as well as learn and practice the art of judo. His smiling face will always be in my memory. My son and I were fortunate enough to attend his wedding. What gracious, friendly people. Aloha Bill. You lived well and left a legacy.

Sorry that I missed your funeral. I just saw your obituary and my heart felt heavy. Peace and Aloha my bradda.

Bobbie-Hugs and prayers of comfort for you and your family. I'm sorry to have missed his service. Know that he will be missed but the memories will continue. God bless.

Uncle Donald, you will truly be missed. You have taught us the true meaning of Aloha. Everything that you have done has always been from your heart. I will miss sneaking cake to you when Aunty Bobbie was not looking! We will miss you sharing your true love for Hawaiian music and the laughter we shared with you. We love you, Uncle and we will miss you. Love to you, Aunty Bobbie and Nana, always.

I will miss my teacher and mentor but my life will be filled with more than just good memories of our times together, it will be filled of all the teachings you passed on that I will continue to pass on. It's been an honor
calling you my Sensei and I will miss our long conversations very much.

Sensei - you have been a part of us for 25 years and your presence among
us lives on through all you taught us, directly and indirectly. This week,
a special class will be dedicated to you, highlighting your passion for the
arts, your teachings of the arts and your invaluable lessons about life.

Our deepest condolences to the family for such a great loss.

Prayers to Tutu, Aunty Bobbie and the rest of the Ohana. Uncle Donald will be missed. Jeana and I was fortunate to have all of you in our lives. Malama Pono

Prayers to you and your Ohana. Cherish the memories.

God Speed Bill...a great American, Leader, and Mentor. Our thoughts and prayers are with You, Family, and Friends. You will be missed and always in our hearts.
