If you didn't know Monte, I'm sorry. If you knew Monte, you are fortunate.
He was as nice as he was gruff. Helpful and encouraging. Always willing to lend a hand.
Every time I pull the Impound trailer onto the lakebed, I thank Monte and the CRG for giving me a place to work and hide from the elements.
He is an LSR icon and will be missed greatly.
Godspeed Monte.
