Monte died peacefully this morning at 1:35 am, at the wonderful age of 95. or, as Betsy said to me, he kayaked off to Heaven. Monte was one of the four cornerstones of SRSFL, contributing so much more to its growth than most of us could possibly know. Whatever
Betsy and SRSFL needed, he was there — driving, guiding, taking pictures, serving as Board treasurer, proofreading, being Betsy’s sounding board, making coffee for all the overnight folks who came up on the train for SRSFL events and so much more. Though quiet and unassuming, he was quite the power-house behind the scene, and had a way of saying what needed to be said at just the right moment.
There will be more details about a celebration or memorial at a later
date. For the moment, we send love and condolences to Betsy, who
cared so lovingly for him these last years. And we thank you, Monte, for all the hugs and memories, for leaving your corner of the world better than you found it, for all you did
for SRSFL, and for a life well-lived. Rest in Peace, dear Monte!
Thank you Vickie for this beautiful tribute!
