Jim Monte, my friend, my brother, my mentor.
The things I remember, the things I've forgotten.
If I were to describe you I would say that you are bright, humorous and have a tendency to babble on.

We were in this world together, our paths crossed and I am a better person for it. I will never forget and I will see you again.
