Matthew truly enjoyed coaching his son and the Bartlett Raiders. He also loved watching his daughters play travel basketball. He was usually the loudest in the stands and on the sidelines.
Matthew was a proud member of the Columbian Club of Chicago and Trustee on the Charitable Foundation. He also, loved to spend time on his boat in Delavan, WI where he met Meghan and had a home for several years. He always loved a good cigar and golfing with his buddies. But mostly he enjoyed spending time with his family and friends.
