What a shock to learn of Matt's death while looking up another notice on the computer!
I remember seeing cousins at the lake as we called Aunt Rieca's and Uncle Hy's home----July 4th parties there. (If it looked like rain that morning it'd always clear up by get-together time!
Once I remember my folks, brother and I visiting Krinksys' home in South St. Paul.
My thoughts are with you.

Dear Mathhew,
Nine little popcorn balls burst forth to the St. Croix River to play with everybody's dogs and swim. The noise was unbelievable. Your mother and I took turns putting our babies down for a nap in our Howdy doodie Guest House. Those days are long ago but precious. Lets remember the good times.

Dear Polly, Steve, Zoe,
Years fly by and I always take for granted that the "old neighborhood "will always be around ....just like it was...forever. I remember the "cookie stories" from Mary Jones, a few years on the "swing set", the "spider in the tree" to name a few. The stories I heard about Matt, Steve and Polly at the Jones household before I arrived are still talked about, with smiles and loving hearts. Whether it be "flying" from the roof or motorcycle rides where no man has driven before, you all are always part of our family. Stan, Marge, Matt are still in our hearts and thought of often. My positive thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Thank you for being the amazing family that you are. The Kenneth Jones family is proud of the long...long....long history we have together. We love you and miss you.
Your lifelong friend,
Connie Jones Bonk

It was such a shock to hear of Matt's death. Matt and I go back to the beginning almost! First love for us both and many shared years together. Lots of joy and lots of pathos. I have so many wonderful memories of the Krinsky's and my family of Matt as well. My thoughts and prayers go out to you, Polly, Steve and family. Peace to you all

Polly, Zoe & Steve,
Matt was a true gentle man, always with a smile, always thinking, and always ready with a joke. I will miss him and his singing at Passover. He truly touched my life and made it easier time and time again.

Matt was my big brother. He was so bright, funny, gentle......he taught me how to be political in the 70's, he adored my daughter, always had a piece of gum or candy, was very professional in his job. I miss him now and will continue to do so forever.
