This feels like the end of an era. I like to think that he has joined mom, dad and the rest of the old crew and that they are all now enjoying a game or two of bridge, a round of golf and of course the odd martini.
Although he was small of stature the passing of Dr Monks will leave a large void in the world. I always remember the story of mom visiting him to have a scan of her brain done after hitting her head. Dr Monks came out to the waiting area where mom and a number of other patients were sitting and declared loudly that the scan of her head showed nothing....absolutely nothing. He thought he was very funny. And he was.
Trish, Lou, Des, John and Janice you have all had the benefit of your dad's wisdom, humour and love through the years. How lucky you are for he was a rare one. Enjoy your many memories, and smile knowing that he left the world a better place and will be missed by many.
