Monse had a passion for gardening, recycling, reading and fishing when he was not working. Monse had a kind heart, always ready to lend a hand to those in need, family, friends or a total stranger. A simple man that enjoyed the simple things that this world offered and driving around Matamoros, always with a good cup of Mcdonalds coffee. He cherished the times with his children and grandchildren.
