Sorry to hear of Matt's passing. I met Matt back in the mid 1970's at Jersey City State (now New Jersey City) University we both majored in Political Science. We stay in touch during the 1980's. Then from the 1990's on I would see him here and there, I moved to Bayonne and he went to work for the North Hudson Community Action Corporation.

Matty has been a friend of mine since our evenings at St. Peters College back a couple of years. Always a smile and something nice to say, whenever I ran into him. When I did see him I tended to gravitate to him and hope that conversation would develop. A true blue Hudson County guy who knew facts about Jersey City and Hudson County, that no one else could. I will miss seeing him. My sincere condolences to his family and many friends.
