What a good and decent man!! Mr. Montgomery was always very uplifting and encouraging to me as a youngster. I'll always remember him being so gracious as we invaded his garage with our first garage band!
God Bless Barbara, Nikki, Keith the entire Montgomery family. I send love, condolences and prayers of comfort in your time of such loss. Love to you ALL❤️
I will miss my brother so much.
He had a smile that would light up a room.

Mr. Montgomery was my best friend’s father and my basketball coach in elementary school. He was soft spoken and I never remember him raising his voice at anyone. He had an amazing laugh and smile that lit up the room. He was a man who you respected because he respected you. I was horrible at basketball but he made sure I had equal time on the court and never got frustrated with me. Keith and I would go fishing with him on the military reservation and before we had our driver’s licenses Mr. Montgomery would take us to the Parkland or Lakewood movie theater and pick us up after the movie. Sometimes Keith, Lance, and some of our friends would party before going into the theater but Mr. Montgomery never said anything when he drove us home. Maybe he didn’t know but I think he did. My thoughts are with Miss Montgomery, Nikki, Keith, and the rest of the Montgomery family.

WH was my Father In Law and he and Barbara welcomed me as one of the family from the moment I met them. Along came their Grandson Kahlil and they were loving and doting amazing Grandparents! They drove everyday for 3 years from Spanaway to Seattle to care for him when Keith and I went back to work which created a really tight bond between them. Kahlil really identified with WH as he grew older and really is the spitting image of WH. Kahlil loved to hear his military stories and family history and debate life theories. WH nurtured Kahlil's interests and created interesting duck tape creations which I have saved. I understand WH loved duck tape. Whenever we visited their home over the years, as soon as we would arrive out would come the latest photo albums created and eventually we would go through all of the albums together accompanied by WH telling detailed stories of family, friends and community. I will truly miss his energy, knowledge and spirit❤️
