Matt came into "They're Playing our Song" 2 weeks before we opened and saved us! A great talent has been lost. Heaven just got a great song and dance man! He will be missed dearly. Sheila Yates, Hartt School of Music 1987

I am so sorry I was unable to attend Matt's memorial service however I did offer a Mass on his behalf. Matt and I worked together in The Miracle Worker when he was about 12. I could see then that he was destined to make a major contribution to the Arts. You will be missed Matt, by all of us.

To all of Matt's families--
Thinking of you after learning today of his untimely death. I haven't seen Matt since the last time we worked together many years ago, but I will always remember his talent and good cheer. He was a pleasure to be with and to work with. So glad to hear he was doing so well and enjoying the love in his work and his life. His art touched many lives along the way. With sympathy and love--

Thank you to everyone who made the service today so fitting a tribute for Matthew. It was such a gift to remember this special, talented being and to be part of celebrating him with the rest of the generous and loving theatrical community of the Lehigh Valley.
How lucky we were to have grown up with such caring, talented people producing theatre and fostering our talent : Civic Little Theatre, especially (Where it all began for so many of us!); Guthsville, PA Playhouse, Shepherd...

I have been so profoundly saddened by the loss of this talented man. I keep trying to find photos to share. He was so dynamic to be around.
