My brother, Monte, was my hero on many occasions. While driving, I would fall asleep unless someone was with me, or I was on the phone. He would talk me home nearly every day...from Portland Oregon! Monte's the reason I'm alive today. He was respected and loved by many. Will miss him. My heart hurts for your loss, Beth and Gordon.
