“It is with great sadness that I tell you Munty Pot passed away on Saturday morning. He had complications from a previous medical condition. Munty was a sub-contractor working with me at the Senior Center on two grant funded projects. Munty was well known in the Cambodian Community. He was 42, has a 9 year old son and his wife is expecting their second child. He was instrumental in helping me with his role with Lowell Seniors Count and in assisting our Cambodian Elders. He was a good friend, a fine man and a leader in the Cambodian Community.” Lynne Brown-Zones, Executive Director, Lowell Senior Center
