Not sure what to say?

All:
I am in shock, and just belatedly getting the news today August 30th, 2016.
Matt was a lovely lovely sweet guy who charmed me along with so many others...
Had he become a Head at another program
back in the post Lville days we planned that I would join him there.I would have followed him anywhere.
A piece of him will be with all of us and
I am so thankful I knew him. He represented the best example acroos the board,as a human being a scholar and a coach, let's do our...

I went looking for the Matt Miller I knew at the Lawrenceville Squash courts and found this! My deepest symnpathies to the Miller family! His zest for life and generosity of spirit make him a tough act to follow! I was, briefly, the Lawrenceville Squash Coach after he left!

No one is surprised by the great accomplishments Matt achieved in his career. All of us from Red Lion know he would do great things. My thoughts and prayers are with Matt's family.

Matthew Miller was housemaster of Kennedy House at Lawrenceville and loved house football and its traditions and history. House football at the Lawrenceville School started in the 1880s and the Hamill House became our archrival in 1947. It was a fun, competitive intramural tackle football league. Middle linebackers were 145 pounds and were destined for Amherst or Stanford, not for athletics, but for their academic prowess. It was a sport that normal sized boys could play. The night...

My deepest sympathies to Susan and Matthew's family. When Matt interned for me at the York Chamber and we played tennis, probably 1990, he had such big dreams. He fulfilled those that he shared with me and went on to fulfill so many more. In my mind, he will be forever young, and will live on through all of the people and especially students he touched.

A great man. I am reminded of these lines from Gatsby: He smiled understandingly much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced or seemed to face the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just so far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe...

I was overcome with sadness when I heard of Matthew's passing. Justne, Mia, Sophie and Grayson- he spoke so lovingly and proudly of you all! One of my childhood memories of Matthew is his pledge to learn a new word each day and to use it in conversation. Always a scholar! It warms my heart to know that he not only got to do what he loved in this life, but he that was able to share it with others!

So sorry to hear of Matt's passing! He was part of our tennis circle of friends in high school. We had great times playing tennis and hanging out together! He always talked about becoming a college professor and loved philosophical conversation even back then. Praying for all of his family during this difficult time!

My deepest condolences to the family. Matt had a good soul and a caring smile that he wasn't afraid to share. It seems only yesterday we were waking the halls at Red Lion, enjoying life and being kids. Matt will certainly be missed.
