He was a very supportive member of our faculty at Wawasee Prep. Matt also made our Drama Dept. one that all of us were proud of. A play was always in production

Matt was always a spark of joy to everyone all the times I was in his presence. Christopher Myers, my son who attended Worcester Country, as it was known in the 80s, was all into his school. Matt taught well and was a light. It is an honor to have known him.

Matt was a truly memorable character. Whether playing himself in Maryland or playing some other character on the stage in Florida his ebullient personality leaves us all with smiling memories.. I add my sympathies to all of his family and friends.

I very much appreciate the positive influence Matt had on my children, Jeff & Dana. I would stop by the school years after graduation and he would always inquire about them.
We will all miss him dearly.

A straight shooter.

Direct and to the point with just the right amount of compassion. A wonderful facilitator, one of many while attending Wawasee Preparatory, whose influence remains with me to this day.

It was an honor Sir!
Blessings to you and family

Matt was the most charming gentleman with a wonderful sense of humor, and the ability to always make you feel he was delighted to see you. Matt's years at Worcester Prep offered so much to the school as a whole and to students and families as individuals. His enthusiasm for the musical productions are memories to be cherished.
