Matt and I became acquainted through our shared guitar teacher. I enjoyed learning and hearing songs that Matt was recording from his collection of songs written when he was a younger man. Matt and I often spoke about the guitars we had and those that we wanted. Matt was always friendly, kind, and never missed an opportunity to give me a cinnamon candy. In my limited experiences with Matt it was obvious that he was a good person with a kind and generous spirt. Matt will be missed.
