Monte’s personality made him unique in the Henderson Family. We could always count on him to make us laugh.  We have the fondest memories of taking the paddle boat out with Aunt Marion and fishing with Uncle Monte.  We always laughed has their his and hers sheds.  When all of the McIntyre girls got together with their guys, you could count on the fact that we were in line for some laughter, lots of fun and some amazing stories.  Monte – the name rings with very happy memories.
