Matthew J. McKalips, of McClure, passed away suddenly on May 18, 2024. Born in State College, PA on February 7, 1982, he was the son of the late Marshall W.

Eventually, he returned to attend Penn College, where he earned his degree in culinary. He went on to work as a chef in Boston, Philadelphia, Lancaster and several local places. He was also the proud owner of "Daryl's Dills." A wonderful tender-hearted son and friend, he would light up a room just by walking in.
