John Montgomery, Warsaw, has taken a personal interest in Miller's Merry Manor's plans to add two aviaries to their facilities.
The employees at Miller's took care of Montgomery's wife for four years when he no long could. In August, Hilda Montgomery died from Alzheimer's disease. He said he wants to give back to Miller's and to the patients who may be in a situation similar to his wife's and help with getting an aviary.
