I have so many fond memories of him I actually still have a “”Montella Bucks” on my bulletin board. I know you will all miss him terribly.

    Judy, I am so sorry about Alan’s passing. I certainly understand what it is like to lose your husband. I still miss Guy and always will as you will Alan. Just take advantage of family and friends and therapy which I took advantage of. Anytime I can help please free to call me. May Gods peace be with you at this difficult time. Love Carol Hammond ❤
