I'm so incredibly sad to hear this.  I'm thinking of Mary and Joe's family.
He was one of my favorite Federationists, and I'll miss him dearly.

Hello everyone,

 

It is with a heavy heart that I write of the passing of long time member Joe
Monti. Though we have not seen Joe in awhile, he was a very active member of
the Chicago Chapter and the state affiliate, having served on the state
board for several years, serving asSecond vice-president for a time.

 

Joe was instrumental in organizing fundraisers both for the state affiliate
and the Chicago Chapter. It was Joe and his wife Mary who hosted wonton of
fun at their church, as well as several Games nights. They were also
instrumental in organizing several October fests.

 

The funeral will be at St. ChristophersEpiscopal Church, 545 South East
Avenue, Oak Park at 10:30 on Thursday, June 13.

 

I understand there will be a visitation, details of which I do not know. I
will post further information as I become aware of it. 

 

David Meyer, NFB of Illinois

Coordinator and Channel Administrator, NFB-NewsLine

Chicago Chapter President
