My memories of Matt are of a kind, hard working man who was wonderful company. I shared happy evenings with he and Kate many years ago and of course there was that incredible trip to the Philippines we shared.
Sending my heartfelt sympathy to Kate and Sarah at such a difficult time.
With love, Janne Wills.

Condolences to his family on Matt´s passing. I dealt with Matt over many years when he was a business broker. He was great to work with, competent and a thorough gentleman. A sad loss.
