I have really wonderful memories of Matthew. We spent our HS into college years in the summers outside, looking at landscaping projects of his. This is before he decided (I see now) to become landscape architect. We'd meet up and look at various gardens and spend hours discussing his ideas. I loved every minute of it. He always had expensive and exciting ideas of what was possible and I remember thinking that he was a dreamer but in reality his ideas were solid and truly visionary at least...

I think of Matthew often...his fearless pursuit of a seamless fit between site and structure and his genuine love for those using his gardens, remain an inspiration! His generous spirit continues to lead. Much love to all the Barrys. Wayne

I am deeply saddened by Matthew's passing away. Matthew brought Beauty into my home—and I am grateful to him for that precious gift. I knew Matthew as a truly genuine and very loving person who was always so supportive of everyone. His exuberance transcended generations. Only a few weeks ago he stopped by with a Christmas gift for my 5-year-old grandson--which of course he absolutely loved because Matthew always knew best what children really like!

Matthew was my dear friend and he...

so sorry to hear of this. i remember matt to be kind and sweet-natured.

May you rest in peace Matt, and condolences to everyone you loved and who loved you back, Jeff

From one of Matt's many old friends from Andover, I am sad for your loss and ours. A man with such ebullient love of life and friends and family! God bless.

Many prayers for a Southport gentleman.
