WILTON – Monty S. Volpe, 76, went home to our Lord on the wings of angels, after suffering a long illness, on November 9, 2023, at Wesley Health Care Center in Saratoga Springs.

In his golden years, he enjoyed many adventures and traveling experiences with his friend and companion for eight years, Linnea Peters, who loved and cared for him.
