Not only was he a great officer /father / brother/uncle /husband. He was a caring man who would go out of his way to help any one, not only his family. Whether it was teaching me how to top a tree, or stopping to pick up a woman and her child to give them a ride in the pouring rain. He took classes to help understand people. He would ask me an my brothers if we were incarcerated what things could be in to the system to improve the imprisonment, activities for the inmates etc. When my mother received letters from the inmates, everyone of them said that Captain Monte treated them like human beings. The caring and respect that they showed was humbling.
