All who went to Great Neck North remember Matty as a warm and consummate leader. Way too young to be gone.

Just learned of Matt's passing. He was a friend to all, a great lawyer, and a strong smile and sense of humor. We served on the board of the FAB together; he was my broadcast lawyer at a number of companies that I led and was always responsive, creative, bright.....and often brutally honest...which sometimes is needed. He'll be holding court for sure in Heaven and it will be a good home for him.

I knew Matty for as long as I can remember and was fortunate to be able to visit with him last month. I will miss his endless energy, inquisitive and thought full mind, and our friendship. My thoughts go out to Hennie, Brandon, Ryan, Rita and the others who considered Matty a friend.

Having met in 7 th grade - And reconnected at our reunions - throughout the years - I am deeply saddened to learn of Matt passing. Remembering the wonderful childhood times together from class elections to Saturday cheerleading at football games. A genuine person who made those around him feel good about themselves. He leaves a lasting memory. My sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.

To the Leibowitz family and friends of Matty,
I fondly remember Matty as a teenager in high school, the president of our Great Neck North class. I was secretary of the student council and had the opportunity to work with him. So long ago, but I still can envision his fabulous smile, warmth and leadership. He was a very special person, and I know this a huge loss to the many who loved him and were touched by him. This childhood friend sends deepest sympathy.

I did not know very well. But well enough that when you were President of the GO Great Neck Senior High, I knew then you will become a great asset to society. God Bless you and your whole family. Rest in Peace.

Mortality hit me like a bolt of lightening when I heard that Matty's had passed. We lived across the street from each other on Fir Drive, taking the bus to school everyday since Kindergarten. He was my first friend. I remember that his entire family were always warm and inviting. I can't tell you how many cookies I had after-school at his house, I only wish we had keep in better contact. My fondest memories of Matty are etched into my mind forever.

My condolences to the Leibowitz family. Matt and I worked together in the field of broadcast regulation from the time he was a bright young attorney at the FCC. He was greatly admired and respected by the members of the communications bar.
