Oh man I don't even know where to begin. Matty you always made me smile. We loved alot of the same music. I remember all the late nights after working long doubles at the Cake when we would go chill at City Cellar or Brewzzi's. All the parties and picnics. I had just seen you a few weeks before you got sick downtown. We talked, reminisced about old times, and spoke about getting together again.But we will get together again in the after life. Matty you were definitely one of a kind and will be truly missed. Can't wait till we celebrate your life on June 5th. Say hi to my Mom Susan for me, I know you guys will definitely hit it off. Till next time Matty. Xoxo
