Matt, Today (Sept. 8, 2008) I realized that I have not heard from you in awhile. I called your home and your answering machine, and heard a generic voice message. I checked the internet and found what I feared. You were a caring, gentle person. When we would speak you always called me "friend". I valued and cherished our conversations especially the ones about UAC and Continental. You were a great person. I am sure you are with our Lord. It is not uncommon for Him to take the best, early in life, and you were the best!! It was always upsetting to me to hear of your suffering, but you always had a positive attitude. I had planned on surprising you at the dialysis center one day, but unfortunately and regrettably never did. Take care "my friend". I will keep you in my prayers. Russ Rizzo
