"I read the sad news this morning on Facebook,of course & am so very saddened to hear about Matte. I knew Matte & his family from decades ago but I still have fond memories of Matt,his Dad,Mom & Brothers. I?ve thought of Matt & the Rizzo family through the many years?.Matt was a pretty cool,laid back young man and with a smile & laugh to always share. I can even still remember his voice. Though it?s been years, today my heart sank. My heart and condolences are with Anthony Sr, Christie,Tony,Paul and Tony G. Yes,it?s been decades but you?re all still in my heart and especially today. With a heavy heart & tears, Roger Weeden Fly high Matte! I?m honored to have known you Dude."
