MATTHEW LABINE

Dear Catharine, we are so lucky that you brought Matt into our lives, and so sad that he had to leave us so soon. Matt and his family really light up my memories of family get-togethers, especially Matt's laugh and welcoming way with in-laws, not to mention his intelligence, his passions, his opinions on TV and other things - we're going to miss it all. Our sympathies to you and the kids, to Clem, John, and Eleanor, and to everyone who knew and loved him. You take care, much love!

Catherine & family, my condolences to you all on the passing of Matt. I only met you all the one time in 2007 when I visited and operated on Matt's garden steam railway, while on vacation in the US from Australia. The memories of a wonderful day and especially of Matt & his family have stayed with me all these years. Gone but not forgotten.

My deepest condolences to Matt's loved ones. I remember being so touched my Matt's gentleness, sense of humor, and love of the Ramones. Somehow all those things fit well within his personality.

Matt was as kind a person as there was. Always there to help, he coached my son and I when we rowed together at Norwalk (CT) Rowing. Condolences to Catharine and the kids. God Speed.

Catharine, you and Matt were my very first friends in CT, 18 years ago. Whenever I think of Matt, a smile immediately comes to my face. He was a wonderful man and my life is richer for having known him. He is missed, but has left a legacy of light for us all. My condolences to you and your family.

I am so sorry to read of Matt's death. With my deepest sympathy. Mickey Dwyer-Dobbin

Holding Matt in the light, and sending love and light to Catharine and the family.

Catherine,
My condolence to you and your family, for the loss of your most beloved and talented husband Matthew. A life so beautifully lived, was his life. May you cherish his life and accomplishments, and let God bring you comfort and peace each day. Jeremiah 31:13
