In my short time working with Monk's I came to know a humble, kind, good hearted man. The simple fact he always and I mean always said, "how's Joe this morning?" Well it warmed my heart on days when I sure needed it. Above all, it gave me a good example of what Monk's positive vibes could do when passed on to our fellow man.
Thanks for sharing this Kip, if there is a donation fund or anything being set up by his family to help, please let us know. A verse came to mind when I thought of Monk's, and his dedication to his trade; Colossians 3:23 - "Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord, rather than for people."
