I feel like I know Monte most of my life. My parents thought a lot of him and his wife. Although my dad’s dad and brothers were horse folks, dad wasn’t. But I could always talk horses with Monte. Mother said him and Don were the best sheet metal men. Those were the days.
My sincere sympathy to “the Boys” and their families.
Montie Joe was one of the first grown-ups the kids made a point to know at the Fin and Feather family reunions. In the 90s, when you were too young to drive a go-cart but big enough to be let out of your folks’ sight, you ran in a wild little pack of cousins and aimed to get into just the right amount of mischief.
We learned quickly that if you wanted to smooth things out when you *did* get caught, you needed Montie Joe and Clifford Cottingham to have your back/alibi. I remember his hugs, his laugh and his mischievous grin.
We loved him then and we love him now. Thank you for being such a wonderful man, Montie Joe, and thank you for loving us all so well. You will always hold a special place in my heart.
