Matt was a wonderful God loving man. to hear the stories of his childhood, raising a wonderful family, to golf outings on business trips. I enjoyed helping him around the house and repairing little things that were huge to him. I will missing like a father, he straightened my golf drives without ever taking me to the driving range, gave me advise about love and life and business. I wish the whole family the best and am sorry for all of our loss.

Hello Maggie, Joni, Tim and Chris. Sorry to hear about the death of your dad. Thinking of you guys and remembering: family barbeques; your dad taking us to stock car races and demolition derby's at englewood speedway; going to Glenwood Springs in that classic light blue station wagon (a great weekend until we heard the tragic news of Elvis). Also grateful to him for being a friend to my dad, and serving as a paul bearer at his funeral.
