Matthew Kent "Matt" Copfer

It was always a pleasure passing by you in the hallways and terminal with American Airlines. We didn´t know each other´s names, our head nodes, smiles or a hand wave was enough.

Matt, it was always a pleasure working with you since I started at USairways. You trained me on how to run a T-Point and helped mold me into the employee I am today. When you were my union chairman, you got me out of trouble plenty of times and saved my job.. lol because I was a little troublemaker when I first started. I thank you for that and I´ve made 17 years because of you. You will be missed dearly and always will be remembered by Tug#245. Rest in heaven my guy!! Prayers to the family.

Matt was a pleasure to work with, and always had a calm demeanor about himself.

This is so shocking. I was just joking with you at the time clock that Friday. As we always did every time you passed me. Never thinking that would be our last joke together. I´ll miss walking up on you while you sat in your tug completing crossword puzzles. I´ll always remember our jokes. You´re in a much better place now. I´m praying for your family. Elizabeth L.
