Several of my fondest memories involving Uncle Matt came when I would stop by the Town Hall asking for a "free" fishing license while on leave. He would be in the office, cigar close by and we would talk. I remember the conversation about a dodge van he had just purchased and how he really enjoyed that he could set the seat for when he drove at the touch of a button. It had to be around 1998 or so. Not known to many, I spent a lot of time with Zach, Will and family while my brother Mark had surgeries on his eye. I always felt loved and cared for during the stays with Uncle Matt, Aunt Janet and family. It meant a lot then-and obviously now as I reflect on those days. I am very grateful that I was able to visit Uncle Matt this summer at the alumni banquet but saddened that commitments to activities leading to the activation of DDG1000 require me to remain at home during the funeral. God Bless you and your family.
