"I had the good fortune to meet Matt and his mother Sharon over 10 years ago. We all worked together through the years building the Horse Stable business and facilities. I knew Matt as a friendly, kind hearted soul who was strong as an ox. So many of the projects we embarked on would not have been possible without Matt\'s resourcefulness and determination to get the job done. He had a tool for everything and the creativity to solve problems as they arose. I could always count on Matt, he was the best right hand man anyone could wish for. Rest in peace my friend and thank you for all the great memories together. Tom Tobis"
