I wasn't a close friend, but you always had my respect for your attitude, work ethic and cheerful courteous behaviour. A great man.

I am the daughter of Bill and Jean Thomas. We were Monty´s neighbors for years and my brother Jimmy now lives in the family home. We had lots of laughs and fun and disputes throughout the years but our families always respected each other and were always there for each other when needed.
We will miss you. Rest in love Monnty. Bill & Jean Thomas whanau.

Deepest sympathies for your loss of a loved, dad, Poppa, and friend of many.I worked with Monty on many occasions. For an event at the old A & P winter show at a show he put together, in Kaiataia at an event he put together called Aquarama, for his shop and I often saw him at events such as the Paihia & kerikeri Food and Wine Festivals where we would share a laugh and a few stories.
