Megan and Gayle I will always remember the time when my daughter Lynda told me he made the most delicious pancakes. He was a kind friend who helped her feel loved. My prayers are with you while all grieve the loss of such great man.

My deepest condolences to Gayle and the family. I'm sure he and Matt are in heaven discussing Overfield Township roads and how to fix them. I also enjoyed our chats at Weis as I was grieving over my loss of Matt, and sharing with him my adventures as I moved forward in my life. May he rest in peace.
