I am so sorry to hear of Matt's passing. I was watching a show this evening and someone reminded me of Matt so I googled and saddened to see the news. I was Matt's RA at Quinnipiac College his Freshman Year and we bonded immediately and had so many great moments. Oddly, we lost touch after my graduation. I am pleased to hear that he was blessed with 3 beautiful sons and I'm certain Matt's infectious laughter and strong presence (amid many other traits that made Matt so unique) will live on and thru the boys. Matt impacted so many of us at Quinnipiac. My deepest condolences.
