October 28, 2019 at 6:15 pmI am so glad I had the opportunity to meet Monty and Marlene. I was able to become their friend and help them out in their home. I will miss taking Marlene shopping at Lansing Mall this Christmas and will miss Monty reminiscing about memories of my dad. RIP to a special couple.

Wonderful memories of good times with your Mom and Dad at our homes and hockey games. Son Jim, my driver, is out of town so I’ll miss the service for Monty. Hope our paths cross again in the future. I have a lot of fondness for you all…..Sylvia Rundquist
