Monty's dad died in 1999. On his dying bed, he asked me to ensure that I look after Monty and Latoya. Being the youngest, Monty had the advantage of everyone's sympathy and support but he never capitalized on that. He was always contented and one who tried to create his own footprint in this world. I admired him immensely for that. Whenever he was at or with me, he would express himself softly and he was always positive and willing. I could not ever deny anything he requested or needed because of his altruistic attitude. I will forever admire his courage and purposeful positivity.
