    As a granddaughter of Elizabeth Bako Monos, I have fond memories of Aunt Julia and Uncle Joe. Your father was always so charming and caring. I'm glad I got to see your father a few years ago while visiting during the Holidays. He always made me feel special and had a warm hello hug. Please find comfort in knowing that he is now with your Mother. On behalf of the Leslie Monos Jr. Family we send our heartfelt condolences and prayers.
