Matthew Angerer Obituary
Matt's talents were many and varied. He worked as a legal assistant, a radio announcer, in construction, and as a processing tech at Mercy Hospital. Matt was known for his massive record collection and his encyclopedic knowledge of reggae, funk, soul, and all things James Brown. Matt was a brilliant story-teller and was always the funniest person in the room. He was perhaps best known as the comedic (and sometimes sagely) foil, Stephen Katz, in three books written by Bill Bryson and was portrayed by Nick Nolte in the movie adaptation of "A Walk In The Woods".
Matt is survived by his wife, Mary Bowlin. Matt routinely referred to Mary as a saint and his role model. Matt is also survived by a step-daughter, Janice, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Memories and condolences may be left at www.iowacremation.com
