I’m thankful Monty was my friend as well as a co-worker. I know my life was richer for having known him. My deepest condolences to Monty’s family.

  3. My sincere condolences to you and yours Linda. Blessings ….his body is not with you but he will live in your hearts until you meet again.

  4. I met Monty through work at General Dynamics, and we worked together a fee years. But I knew him the longest just as a friend after I left the company. We kept up with each other through phone calls and lunches. I’ve never known anyone that had a more positive, uplifting, relentlessly forgiving attitude. Things don’t always go according to plan in any large organization; Many times when he could have seized an opportunity to shift blame to someone else, I saw him instead just knuckle down and fix it, get the job done, no questions asked. That’s rare, and I was a beneficiary of that forgiveness more than once. In the words of a good friend of Monty’s: “Monty’s my friend”.

  5. My condolences to all the many lives he touched.

    Dear Linda, you and Monte are a beautiful couple and though this separation is hard, you will be together again. Your dedication to Monte and he to you through this trial of life has been so very inspiring. God is just and His love is eternal. Hold fast to your memories and your family and allow yourself to be happy again as he would want you to be.

  6. Please accept my condolences for your lose. I worked with Monty at Lockeed ( General Dynamics) in late 1980’s. He was always willing to offer assistance with difficult design issues, provide interesting topics to discuss or share a joke. I am sure he continues to touch lives.

    God bless you all.
