Remembering Robert Monks
1933 - 2024
With deep respect and heartfelt gratitude, we remember Robert Monks, a long-time Board Member who passed away at the age of 91.
Bob, a distinguished lawyer and businessman from a prominent Massachusetts family, lived a life of purpose, intellect, and generosity. In 1964, he married the love of his life, Millicent, fondly known as "Milly" to many in our community. Together, they built a beautiful life, raising two children and later cherishing the presence of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. About 25 years ago, Bob began spending his winters in Palm Beach— a move that would prove transformative not only for him, but for the community's cultural landscape.
