Matt was a childhood friend from Shea Jr. High. All that I read in various tributes is exactly how I remember him - calm, steady, and funny! I also remember his acceptance of those who needed a friend; he was a caring friend that didn't judge. I didn't know him as a husband, father or grandfather, but it doesn't surprise me to hear how much he loved his family. I'm sure he will be greatly missed! So sorry for your loss.
Matt was a funny guy when I met him at work, wasn't sure at first how to take him. I cant remember if he started there 1st or not. Either way, Matt had a sense of humor, he would give a ear to listen to. Lol you definitely did want to get on his bad side. i never did but i used to find it kind of funny when he gave other coworkers a run for their money so to speak. He was a very smart and wise man. He love his family. It broke my heart to find out that Matt had this ALS. I thought he went in for a workers comp issue and bam he also had to fight another journey. He seem to be strong threw the whole thing. He had great spirits and family to keep him strong. I think we both went out the same time and found out our lives were going to take a different turn. Matt Rest in PEACE and Raise a little H*** too. Fly high.
Sincerely,
Laura Knapp
Matt will truly be missed. We were very close friends back in our teens and twenties. We had some wonderful times riding around in his van, going on many fun and crazy adventures. Time and distance separated us, but he has always, and will always be in my thoughts. He was a kind, caring soul who helped a misfit like me along the way. Rest in peace my dear friend.
