To Dr. Harrington's Family:
This was such a shock to see in the paper. My son Michael was a patient of Dr. Monte's for years and even after being married had to come back to him for a broken permanent retainer problem flying to Charleston from Miami because he thought so highly of Dr. Monte and his experience...we are all devastated to see the loss of such a fine man and Orthodontist...Charleston has lost one of the best. To each of you our sincere sympathy in your great loss and may your memories be close to you in all the days ahead. God Bless
