Not sure what to say?

A great man and a blessed friend I miss you Matt.

In our senior year, several guys would meet at the restaurant after 10:00PM. The food was good (clam roll was my Mother's favorite). More importantly, even as teenagers we were treated with respect. We even planned our infamous "Pizza run to Canada" there. Mr. and Mrs. Dubie helped a lot of kids by hiring them for the restaurant, cleaning up their yard, and just plain donating to the community. Davison will miss Matt.

gone but not forgotten. I send my love and prayers to his family.

Matt gave me my first job at his new beautiful restaurant when I was 15. He taught me how to treat people right. Virginia and Carla were also kind to me. I talk about 'DUBIEs' to my grandchildren. My condolences to his family.

We are sorry to hear of Matt's passing and are so sorry for your loss. We had a lot great times with Matt and Virginia over the years. Your family is in our Prayers. Sincerely, Bryan and Jerrie Hodge

I am so sorry to hear of Matt's passing. I had lot of good times with Matt and Virginia over the years, going to Jonesy's and Dubie's Restaurants. I cut Matt's beard for the last few years,and he would stop in for some good talks at my barber shop. Would see him at the flea markets, and talk about antiques. He is going to be missed!
