Dear Ray and Patti,
I just found out about the death of your son and I am so sadden that you have to endure this so close to Christmas or at any time. I went to your wedding when I was a little girl with my mother Rita Larose and I still remember it today. I read all of the memories that were written about Matthew and it sounded like he was a wonderful son. He is now spending time with God and I am sure he is happy.

For many, Matt’s death left no time for ‘goodbyes’. For those of us who remain, his life showed us how to turn each day into a life worth living. Now, we need to sweep up the heart, and live with love, goodness and fond memories of Matt with one another… sharing our caring as he did with family and friends.

Stephanie,
Please accept my sincere condolences.
When I got the news of Matts passing I was shocked beyond belief. As you know I worked on a lot of Matts Jobs including your house in Hinesburg. It was always a pleasure to work with Matt. I admired Matt because he was a hard worker, but also a devoted family man. He would work long days on a job site,but he would always take the time to go on trips with his family.The building industry has encountered a huge loss in the passing of such a wonderfull man and talented craftsman.He will be missed by many.

We are so sorry and deeply saddened to hear that Matt has left us. What a great friend and neighbor. He was always there to lend a hand. He admired our daughters as they highly admired and respected him. We will hold our memories of Matt dear to our hearts. From a quick drop in to say hello to fireworks and face painting on New Year's Eve, Matt was a big kid at heart. If there is anything that we can do to help, please let us know. We are here for you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Ray, Pat, Stephanie and Pam: There are no words to express comfort for this wrenching loss to all of you. Matt was a gentleman, a true professional in his work, and as I recall saying to you, Pat, many years ago, your son was handsome, hardworking and honest. A true tribute to your family. I know you will have many joyful memories to share and that ultimately, you will find some comfort in those. With sincere sympathy, Janice Clements

My husband and I met Matt when he was in the contracting business and hired him to work on our house on three different jobs and later to install the electric door on the garage when he moved over to the family business. As his family and friends know, no obituary could begin to adequately describe this man. Courteous, professional, knowledgeable, efficient, affable - just words, and I'm sure that Matt was so much more. Our condolences to his wife and remaining family members.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

A friend from childhood which carried into adulthood,
His zest for life contagious,
His enthusiastic laugh echo's,
His larger than life smile imprinted in memory,
Gone suddenly,
Always rememberd fondly

We met Matt briefly when we were in pursuit of a garage door. We had some really great conversations that had nothing to do with the door or its installation. He was a very warm hearted person and we would have liked to known him better. I'm certain that he was that way with everyone he came in contact with. Please know that our thoughts are with you at this truly difficult time. No words can really ease the pain but we hope the gifts of family and friends will help you as you grieve.
