Matthew J. Connell

I think about Matt often, and have only fantastic ans cherished memories of his mentoring of me and all the students whose lives were indelibley and forever positively impacted by his energy, enthusiasm and confidence.

I just saw the Matt Connell Way sign on 715. He was very helpful to me. I said a prayer for him and he was admired. Sorry to see him leave this world. I remember how very much he felt it was a privilege to be a parent. Former Student

I´m truly sorry to hear about Matt. I know he and Jeff always made time for each other. I´m sure Jeff was waiting at the gates for Matt. Praying for Evelyn and the family. May the Lord give you peace.

May Matt Rest In Peace. My deepest sympathy to Matt´s wife and family. I got to know Matt through projects at Chestnuthill Township, and also his work at the college and in the whole Pocono & Monroe County & Northampton County communities. He was a well-respected, multi-talented, and awesome person. He faced his illnesses courageously, and his family´s devotion to him was unwavering. God bless Matt & his whole family.

We are so sorry for your loss! Sending your family hugs and prayers!

He was a very kind, bright, and giving administrator, leader and civil servant. He will be missed...

Matt had a giant impact on the community. I first met Matt shortly after I moved to the Poconos in the mid-90s and quickly learned that his involvement went far beyond NCC. It seemed that Matt was engaged in every important cause facing Monroe County. His devotion to the community and his leadership in addressing important, challenging needs was invaluable. Matt left us far too soon and left a huge void that will be difficult to fill. I'll miss you Matt.
