Golf: I knew the Montopoli brothers pretty well. He built the KH when I lived in Plymouth. I haven't seen them in ages. I've also spent a number of years in the Boston cong. I'll be in Rockland in October

My son lives in Rockland and plays in a band in a local restaurant/bar. They have been a local band there for years!

minimus:

Around here we call the family the "Mountmypolies"...

Very interesting, you can write me all you want about them. Put it in this thread or send me a message. I would LOVE to hear more. They were handsome men. Their mother lived with Alan. I wrote a story here about an elder and how he treated his wife...

lawrence:

day we visited the Waltham congo was the day after I did a large dose of Aldous Huxley

DannyHaszard: Wow, Rockland too? Glad to see you here.

coffee_black: Yes, Gerry was in the Newton cong. and Alan in the Waltham. Do you remember Maynard Wellington? passed away long time ago. Sickly fellow with a bad heart, great man by any standards. Lived a true Christian life I think, loved that man, he performed my then marriage ceremony.

by jt stumbler in

my cousin, a non-jw died last saturday of kidney cancer.

although not a jw, his wife also a non jw asked an elder to do his service.

Alan Montopoli was an elder in the Waltham cong. They owned a construction company. Remember the Tommy Rao? (I think it's that spelling) The Raos were the best JWs in that cong. Their mother Ruth was such a great lady, her husband was not a JW but owned laundramats. They really acted like true Christians, they were so good to everyone they met.

You live in Newton or Needham? I lived on Adena Road in West Newton. And I had friends now moved from Halcyon Road in Newton Center.

I never saw that baptism pool cause we all got baptised at a Circuit assembly. We were encouraged to get ready for those times, I guess for more affect.

Thank you for your response. I should add, I do not live in Mass. any longer. I moved away to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and now Virginia. I still visit there because I have friends and a son living there. Such an expensive state to live in! And the price of oil and gas!!! out of the box

I believe in what goes around comes around. People who are not afraid of this world and freely give flow with everything. Giving in it's time. I feel you became a recipient of that gift. I have had it loads of times and I try to remember to return it by giving to someone like that when I can. You know 'Pass it on"! Or, it has been called A Random Act of Kindness. The more we do it, the more it will spread! It does not even have to be money,

like letting someone go through the door before you
smiling to a handicapped person or elderly, (I mean a REAL smile with a genuine 'how are you'?)
Let someone go on ahead in the car before you pull out
Compliment someone's outfit or car, etc.
SMILE
Can I help? when someone is struggling with packages or something heavy.
Post on someone's thread that seems depressed and try and cheer the person up.

You get it now... Have a GREAT Day!!!
