Mona and family,
So very very sorry for your loss of Monte! He was such a super nice guy! I know how very much you will all miss him! You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers!
Monte was a great individual and a dear friend. I am so fortunate to have serviced Monte as a customer and more importantly share laughs and good conversation.
He will be dearly missed.
May God bless his family.

I met Monte when he gave me the opportunity to install his alarm system in his new store. Over the many years I met and got to know his family. I learned that for a time we both lived on the same block of Bennett street in Wichita.
God bless Monte and his family.
