Matt and I only hung out for one summer a long time ago but we shared some memories. We rode around in his blue blazer and burned up Depeche Mode and Pearl Jam tapes. Matt was the real deal. My prayers are with everyone that loved him.

I am so shocked to hear about the passing of your son Micheal. I have had the pleasure to have worked on serveral projects with Micheal and I can tell you that he took pride in his work and took it very seriously. He believed in doing it right the first time. He was a very kind person alsways ready to lend a hand no matter what craft you were in. I am deeply sadden by his death and I pray that God be with you during this very dificult time. May God bless.
