I was very sad to see this. Matt and I were friends on/off throughout grade school, junior high and into high school. We did keep in touch the first year or two after high school, occasionally grabbing a drink to catch up. He was an incredibly sweet guy, loved comic books (turned me on to the Silver Surfer), and could throw a punch (he owned boxing gloves and as kids we sometimes went several rounds in his living room before his mother called time out).

Hi,

I remember you as a neighbor of Barry Schreidell. We were also both in Ms Topal’s english class as I recall….

Nice bio (MindSite) and great to read about the contribution you’ve made.

Cheers.

In the summer of 1975, right after graduation, I visited Jonathan in Silverton CO where he was working at a climbing school. He took me 14K up a glacier and taught me how to "glacede".  

Great guy with a big heart.
