Condolence From: Judy Silvestri
Condolence: I was so saddened to hear of Matt’s untimely passing. He was so kind, helpful, respectful, and always ready with a quick smile. Throughout my nine years of teaching at FES, I could always count on Matt to bring some comic relief to my days with his sense of humor. Matt also loved talking about his children and grandchildren of whom he was so proud. He will be greatly missed by all of us. My sincerest thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Condolence: Mr. Matt was one of the first people I met at Franklin Elementary. He was so welcoming and kind. Always ready to assist in anyway that he could. I never saw him have a bad day and he was always positive and upbeat. I also knew Jen his daughter from teaching ESY together. My deepest sympathies to Jen and all of his family. Heaven has gained a five star angel for sure!

Condolence: Matt was an absolute angel, a true gem. I have the privilege of working with him at Franklin from 1992-1994. I never met a kinder, more helpful and caring building chief. I taught music in the back of the cafeteria and Matt was always there to help at all times and he loved to listen to the children sing. I am so very sorry that he has left this earth, but his memory will always be very bright and warm. Deepest condolences to everyone who mourns his passing.
