He loved classic rock and roll and the blues. He volunteered at the Chesapeake Cares Food Pantry for the past 7 years, where he logged over 1,000 hours helping his community. Known as “Wawa Matt” by the food pantry volunteers, he would pick up the weekly donations from the local Wawa stores and bring them to the food pantry for distribution throughout the community. Matt enjoyed helping others in so many ways. Matt retired in 2014 after working 35 years at the World Bank in Washington, D.C. as a supervisory building engineer.
