blunce Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 It's a sad, sad day. You will be missed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sean Bratton Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Wow. Although I never met Matt, I'm amazed at how gutted I feel. If ever the word gentleman could be used to describe anyone on the various modeling boards ti fit Matt to a T. He was a true example of how one could contribute to a topic - even the touchy ones - in a manner that added to and calmed the discussion rather than inflame them further. My condolences to Stephanie and his family, he will certainly be missed. Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimz66 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 There is too much of this going around. I just went to my uncles funeral today. RIP Matt, you will be missed. I too never met you but YOU have had a MASSIVE presence here on ARC and your contributions will never be replaced! ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JeskiM Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 My condolences to his family. I miss him sorely even though I never met him. When I stumbled on ARC a few years ago, he was the first person that I came to know and the first to say hello. I've always enjoyed his insights and stability he brought to many threads that were starting to get out of control. My day dimmed first thing this morning when I got to work and logged in to see this news....it has since gone dark when I checked back in after dinner. Godspeed Matt...my prayers are with you and I hope to meet you someday then it is my time. - Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

galileo1 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Man, I was dreading logging in tonight for fear I would read this... Well, what can I say, I've never met Matt in person but got to know him a bit through his posts. I'll always remember the calm, and knowledge, he brought to every discussion. I will miss his input for sure. Rest in peace, Matt. Hope to see you someday when my time comes. Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Old Blind Dog Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Condolences to all Matt's family and friends. I did not know him personally, but was always interested to see what he had to say on the forums here. He was invariably insightful and amusing, knowledgeable and helpful. (And who else was always up on the latest releases or rumors of future releases?) I feel like I've lost a friend. Such a sad way to begin the year . . . RIP to a good guy and a great ARCer. He will be missed. cheers Old Blind Dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
