So sorry to hear about Monk. I knew him thru his sister Wanda and brother Tony when we were young. I talked with him when he came to the Scotts Company driving for Walmart. He was really a nice guy

Sad to hear of Monks passing. He was one of the best brother in laws a family could have. I can still hear him and James laughing at their own jokes!! We shared many laughs over the years. He is in a much better place now.

Monk is fondly remembered from when he drove with my daddy (Wallice “Stringy” Reese) at Homecraft in the 70s -80s. Our deepest condolences go out to his wife and family. Those truck drivers were a good bunch of guys.
