To the family of Matt: I grew up with Matt and we went to St. Patrick's together. I have many happy memories of those old Watervliet days, and Matt played a big part in a lot of those good times. As we got older, I would often see him at the Advance in Watervliet and we would always share a laugh about the "old days"! I am so very sorry for your loss and will keep you in my prayers.
