Monte was my dear friend of 42 years, we worked together, played together, critiqued each other, shared friends and confidences and lived life to the fullest. He was an inspiration to me as an artist and a human being who overcame so many challenging difficulties to come out the other side. He was a brave, gentle, and heroic soul who didn't sentimentalize the world but rendered it poetically in his beautiful writings. His loss is a terrible tragedy. However for all of us who knew him and loved him I know his spirit lives on within us.

I miss Monte every day and still can't believe he is gone. He was a valued friend and an inspiration to me. He was quiet yet strong and the way he dealt with life's obstacles taught me valuable lessons that will stay with me forever. I hope there is good coversation, great books and wonderful films keeping him company today and forever.

Monte shone a light of understanding and compassion on our human frailties. He has touched the lives of so very many with whom he worked and knew socially. That his final days were hourly monitored by a legion who loved him is testament to the memory of warmth we felt from his truly Open Heart.

Monte was a intelligent, thoughtful, and kind soul and all his cousins and their families feel a great loss within our Merrick clan. We are all so grateful to have known Monte while he was with us and we are equally grateful to have been touched by his creative genius. Our thoughts, prayers, and our deepest sympathy go out to all our Merrick cousins, Monte's brothers and sisters, and their families.
