We are so sad for your loss, please know our prayers are with you and all of your family. Your Dad is so special and we remember him fondly with his snack stops to the office to say hi during his deliveries. His attitude and smile always brightened our days. He will be missed by all.

My condolances go out to the entire family. I knew Adolph when he was coming to the Parents Without Partners dances. He was quiet a gentleman and loved to dance.

As a child....I remember Adolph...a cousin, so I was told. He was warm and friendly with a smile I can remember to this day. Years may pass...but some people leave a mark that remains in our memories. I know he will be missed...and remembered by many.
My love and prayers to the Montgomery Family....
