Monty was my first boss at the phone company and became my good friend. He taught me so much! My thoughts are with his family.

Monty is one of my most pleasant memories from my almost 12 years working at Brookwood Baptist Church. He always came into the church office with a smile, and quite often with his delicious homemade fudge to share with the staff. He loved his Lord, his church, and his family. A dear man. My sincere condolences to the Littlejohn family!
