A year has passed and yet it seems like yesterday we were visiting and having dinner together. He was a special man...a great educator and amazing friend. He is truly missed.

We miss Matt....a lifetime friend of my parents and a close friend of mine as I've known Matt and Elaine since I was a little girl. His wit and knowledge were fun to experience. Matt...I know you are there. I hope you are teaching all your heavenly friends and relatives a thing or two!

Matt was a treasure and one of a kind, a warm, kind and good hearted person. He was my dads best friend and over the years became mine as well. Ever the confident, I could always count on him for a funny story and insightful observations. My deepest condolences to Elaine, Jayne, Paul and the entire family.
