Uncle Matt was good people. There seem to be fewer of his caliber of person every year. He was always kind and considerate even at times he didn't have to be.
It has been a privilege to be related to him and to experience his happy Murphy laughter.
Sincerely,

Aunt Gloria, Donna, Matthew, Murphy's & extended Family members;
I unfortunately do not have abundant memories of Uncle Matthew. But as I have shared with many of you, to me he was my first and immediate Uncle. Even though I only first met him at age 26, he let me know (in word & deed) that I was unconditionally his nephew and he was my uncle. With that meeting, I met many other beloved family members.
I admired and love my Uncle Matthew. He put others before...

Dear Aunt Gloria, Dear cousins,
It is difficult to find the words to describe the loss we all feel during this sad time. Uncle Matt was a wonderful man, a loving & kind husband, a good Father & Grandfather, and a great Uncle. He had a sense of humour that had a way of endearing everyone to him and putting a smile on all our faces. He was so generous, freely giving to others, asking for no payment other than the delight on our faces.
My fondest memories of him are...
