Oh Monte what a great friend and person.. you were my first friend in Lethbridge when we moved here in 2007. You were open friendly and always had a joke for me. My first Christmas here the ladies at work and I came and saw you play at the Coalbanks and it is still one of my fondest memories. Over the years we stayed in touch and you would visit me at my work or we would have a coffee and a laugh. My son always thought the best of you with your quick wit and hugs. When we would run into you my daughter would invite you with us to the movies or the mall.. you were our oldest friend.. you would share the shirt off your back if it helped a friend. We were truly blessed to have known you. Safe travels to the other side my dear friend.. playing bass guitar for all your friends and family. Sending love light and hugs to you and to all those that knew you. Thank you for sharing your light with the world.. Cathryn and family
I always enjoyed working with you when you modeled for my clothing designs and jamming at the Coalbanks. You always were a lovely happy soul and every time I seen you over the years it was always a pleasure. Rest in peace my old friend.
