I cant believe Im reading this thread. Only know Matt through CTF. Weve had a half dozen Pm conversations. Not always about good times. My fiancees best friend is a reale estate agent. When Matt was needing to buy his house I hooked them up. Every time I see her she asks how Matts doing. I usually answer that one of these days Im going to stop in to meet him in person. I was happy for him when the Bruins made it to the finals last week. For some one I never met I dont know if I ever hoped for anyone to make it through the last few years more than I hoped he would. Im glad you guys(Cmed, Tmack, Iceman,Glenn etc..) were there for him. In the words of one of his favorite Southern bands Marshall Tucker "Ride in peace my friend, ride in peace, for now all your troubles have finally come to an end, even though we miss you so, thats the one thing that makes us go, is to know well ride in peace again my friend".

May God Bless You Brother. My prayers and heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

Saddened by this news. R.I.P.

This was so very sad reading. I never met Matt. I did enjoy his posts and from what I see he was a very special man. Life threw him a few curveballs but with the help of his friends he seemed to always go on. I absolutely hate the bruins but I am going to root for them in Matt's honor. Rest in peace. God must have needed a catfish guide and he got one of the best.

I just signed on and read the terrible news. RIP Matt. My thoughts and Prayers also go out to his friends and family.
