monty was part of a very close, caring family. They “look out” for each other and for others as well. his accounting skills were a blessing to us (he did our taxes for many years, saving us time and money). He and Marty enjoyed playing pool and monty was hard to beat! monty also liked golf and “talking superbowl” with his brothers. i enjoyed more than a few interesting conversations with monty on a variety of topics. He was well-informed, interesting, and intelligent. i will always appreciate the time we spent with monty, but will always wish we had more. His life was a gift to all of us, and we will miss him. sharon gee (marty anderson)
