Not sure what to say?

I will miss our phone calls to each other, hearing "Matt here" and then learning about his and Sissy's latest cruise. He was the epitome of life, and a role model for aging with panache.

He lived life, loved it and shared it. He always cared and was there with kind words, thoughts and support. A special Uncle indeed. I love you Uncle Matt and very sorry our time together was so short. I will miss you very much.

"Our condolences to the Hennessey family. We are proud to have known such a kind and gentle soul. He will be missed by all..."

I'll remember the laugh and the jokes, the huge hands and delicate art work and the infectious joy and curiosity of the man.

My sincere condolences to the Hennessey family. Sudler & Hennessey offered me my very first job in the Traffic Dept. I stayed for 5 years, married one of his account managers and had two amazing boys. He served many beginnings in my life. I was happy to be a part of the S&H family when it was still a private company on 59th and Lexington Ave. Now, THOSE were fun times.
Rest in peace, Matt.
