MORTY MATZ Obituary

MATZ--Morty. The Matz Blancato and Associates family past and present mourn the passing of our founder Morty Matz. He led a full century of life. He was a brilliant PR professional, a great mentor and a better friend. He was both ahead of his time also being a throwback to an earlier era. He was a legend. -30-

I worked for Morty from 1991 to 1994, my first real job in public relations after long freelancing as a journalist. He always treated me fairly and gently and taught me well, largely by example, every inch a mentor. We went on to become friends over the next 30-plus years, and I took the opportunity to write about him extensively, so much so I all but turned into his publicist. I loved him as I've loved few others.

The most wonderful friend for 50+ years. How lucky were all who had him in their lives. Rest in peace, my dearest friend.
