My most sincere condolences to your wife Amanda, and the rest of your family.

Matt, my friend. I was shocked and saddended with the news of your passing. The news brought back many fond memories of all the good times growing up together. Trips to Mads Records and Plastic Fantastic in search of great music, then listening to our finds while geeking out over the latest Hi-Fi gear were always a great time. You always made it a point to have me up to visit during your college years at Albright, and I always appreciated that inclusion. Years passed, and life took us in different directions, but the bond of friendship always kept us close. WhenI saw you last, I was thrilled to find we both had developed an appreciation of good wine.

When I see you again someday, I'm sure the music will be playing. Loudly!
I'll be sure to bring the wine. We will celebrate the good life once more. Rest easy, my friend.
