Evelyn...so sad to hear of Matt's passing. My memory of both him and you were on the bus tours where we had so many laughs and the jokes never stopped. May all the wonderful memories you and the family have of Matt help you through this difficult time. Carole Patterson (friend) - Posted by: Carole Patterson (Friend) on: Sep 30, 2014

I worked with Matt at CNR in the early 70s and was his cribbage partner at the breaks. He was the best partner I ever had, Twenty years after I quit Matt shows up to umpire my slo-pitch game. At the warmup I told my teammates that if they ever need a cribbage partner and Matt is around, pick him - after the game Matt walked over and told my team the same about me. Always found him to be a class act, now I know why he was in my thoughts the last couple weeks. Adios amigo. - Posted by: rskrepetz (long ago coworker) on: Sep 30, 2014
