Met Matt later in life through a mutual friend. Funny, smart with always something to say from his many travels. Still think about him with a smile.
RIP big man.

The Creighton kids were a fun group growing up there in Innis Arden. I think they were all good swimmers..........weren't they? And I remember Matt and his guitar. I believe he was a year older than me and had a magnetic smile. RIP Buddy.
My brother and I. We loved our music
