Monk was always fun to talk with. He had a great smile that he shared readily.Never knew where his nickname came from..if anyone knows,please share.The whole mall walking crew was always happy when he showed up in the morning.They are known as the liars club…guess cause they tell tall stories,,,just joking really. I was glad to call him my friend. He will be missed.

I always enjoyed Monk's great smile and sparkling eyes as he sat for coffee with his mall walking friends. We were introduced by Jim Dike who was a great friend of Monk's. I know you will miss him.

I was blessed with 6 Uncles and I can honestly say Uncle Monk was my favorite. During the past 62 years, I've been raising my 4 boys and Uncle Monk has been loving his 3 girls and numerous grandchildren. This has kept us from seeing each other alot, however Uncle Monk always kept in touch with me and my family. Even though it may have been a year or so wince we last talked, he always made me feel like he had just seem or talked to me yesterday. The memory I have best of Uncle Monk was when I was real young, he took me to Grandpa Billups food market one day and helped me buy some candy. Well, he suggested I get peanuts in a little barrell. These little barrels held about 10 peanuts and came in a little barrell shaped container about the size of your thumb. Before I could pick out some, Uncle Monk said wait I'll show you a trick. He took the whole case of peanut barrells and walked to the back of the store next to the scales. He then preceded to weigh each little barrell seperately and set aside the 3 or 4 that weighed the most. Then he told me to take my money to Grandpa and buy these barrels. After I purchased these, we opened each barrel and dumped the peanuts in a pile and surpriseingly there was a nickle in the bottem of each of these barrels. I made 20 cents . He laughed and Grandpa didn't. I'll miss Uncle Monk, but now he can be with his brother again.
