Matt you will be missed but never forgotton. My prayers are with the family during this rough time. I met Matt a long time ago at Longswamp UCC. He was always a role model to me. I was lucky to go to Alaska with Matt, Linda and my parents, Nancy and Charles Boyer for 2 weeks. It was the best vacation I ever had. When ever we saw a moose we had to put our hands aside our head as ears and say "moose". We had so much fun and laughed all the time. I will never forget you, my dear friend. Love ya.

I worked with Scotty at Lehigh University in the Chemical Engineering Dept. He was a great guy and I have wonderful memories of our conversations. We had a lot of laughs together. He loved to talk about his Mom and told me of the great treatment that she received in Scotland as a senior citizen. May God bless his family during these difficult days and in the days to come. Rest in peace Scotty.........
