I had the privilege of knowing Matt and his amazing wife Pat when their daughter was in my first-grade class. They were wonderful parents and as the years have gone on I have been able to re-connect with Matt when his grandson was in my first-grade class this past school year. Matt's heart was as big as his smile. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. We have lost a special gift to the world. My deepest sympathy to Patti, Michelle, Ryan, and Jeff.
