Shirley, Kieth and Loren....I am so sad to hear of this news. Although I have not seen Matthew in many years I still considered him a very good friend. Its still made me so sad to hear of his passing. I am very sorry for your loss and will always have fond memories of the time Matthew and I spent together hanging out. I am glad to read that he also found some peace by reading the AA big book as I also found peace in it myself. Matthew was a good soul and had a good heart and even if through the years we grew apart, I will miss him.

I was very sad to hear of Matthews tragic passing. While I have not seen him in a number of years, I think of him often and fondly. Our days of riding bikes, running around McConnellsburg are some of the best times of my childhood. My best to Shirley and all the family during this difficult time.---Robb Coltrin
