My name is Lauri Anderson. I'm Monte's wife of 36 years. Rather, I was until he passed away on November 16th, 2016. Bummer, huh. BIG bummer. He had had MS for twenty years and it really started to get the best of him in the last years. I've sent a picture of Monte with the second of our three grandsons. We had one daughter. Monte was an accomplished finishing carpenter by trade. He started out by building decks and ended up working inside big, fancy houses. A few of them were featured in the Parade of Homes.
