It takes a special person to lead a joint venture like Cyro. Matt was a role model in that type of endeavor and was respected by all involved.
He was one of the good guys in the corporate world.

Matt was my dear friend and a boss for many years at American Cyanamid. A smart, generous and caring man. Remember visiting him at his home and meeting Joan. Sad news.

Matt's obituary says how dedicated he was to his family. I am one of Matt's CYRO family and he was as dedicated to all of us who worked at CYRO. Personally, he was the reason I was hired at CYRO and for that I am eternally grateful.
