I have fond memories of Matt from our Georgia Tech time. He was a valued member of Georgia Tech's 1971 and 1972 basketball team as a student assistant and team manager, earning two varsity basketball letters. He was a major contributor to the 1971 Yellow Jackets reaching the finals in the NIT against North Carolina. Rest in peace, my friend Matt.
