Eileen: I still remember how he loved telling our co-workers how he asked you to marry him... still brings a smile on my face... still warms my heart. It was so nice knowing the both of you then, and I am so sorry for your loss. He had a wonderful smile and personality.

Dear Eileen and Family,



We wish to express our deepest sorrow in Carmen's death. It has been a long road since we first met in the early 60's at Marquette and I will always remember Carmen as a kind and caring person. He displayed those attributes throughout his life. We are sorry that we could not be with you today to celebrate Carmen's life.

My sincere condolences go out to Tony and the rest of the Monaco family. As wrestler and coach at Marquette, I remember Carmen and the family well for their support and enthusiasm for a great sport.....but more for their genuine heart felt sincerity. It is difficult to see Carmen pass, but you should feel very proud in the Legacy that both Carmen and Eileen have created in the Monaco family. My prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time.

We will always remember Carmen for his support to his family, particularly to our friend--his son, Tony. He was always visible at Marquette University wrestling meets when Tony was a MU student and wrestler. The Monaco family was present at so many of the wrestling functions and everyone looked forward to coming into town and greeting them once again. At many a fundraiser, all eyes were on Mr. Monaco who displayed unbounded enthusiam and got the spirit flowing from his generosity and spirit. They are a inspiring family and we want them to know how much we liked and admired Carmen as a father and friend. We are so very glad to have known him. Our sympathy is with the family.
