I'm very sorry to hear about Matt's death. I only knew him in passing through high school swimming. I remember he and one of my senior swimmers leading a cheer together for the Phoenixville and Pottsgrove boys' swim teams to kick of the high school district meet. I just remember Matt's big smile and enthusiasm for racing and for supporting his fellow swimmers.
