Oh Rose. I am so sorry to hear of Matt’s passing. Our deepest condolences to you and the family. Sending love.
Our prayers are with all of you at the very difficult time.

Rosemary I am completely shocked right now, I’m so sorry. There are certain people in life that are so unique & special you just will never forget them. I have fond memories of traveling with Matt on jobs to different parts of the country & playing golf with him. He always made me laugh but right now the tears won’t stop.
Mine either…
So very sorry for your (our) loss! We will sorely miss Matt’s wit and wisdom. We remember his as always being positive, energetic and generous. We hope that the memories of friends and family of Matt provide some measure of comfort to Matt’s wife, my sister – Rose. A friend of ours provided these words when we lost someone close to us – “From Orion’s belt his spirit is a star, but in your memory and heart he is never far.”
Matt was my neighbor, my sons Boy Scout leader, friend, hockey teammate and a good man, we all will miss his quirky sense of humor – RIP
Matt, may you rest in peace my friend and we will see in the afterlife.
IT was my honor to have known you.
Joe Panetta

Dear Rosemary,
Offering condolences just doesn’t seem adequate enough. My heart breaks for you and for everyone who had the honor of knowing Matt.
Some of my daughters very first memories involve Matt and Rosemary … racing the dogs up and down the driveway, watching Matt train the dogs on their obstacle course, watching Matt and family build the beautiful outdoor fireplace and terrace, watching Matt use his leaf blower to keep our little corner of the neighborhood crisp and clean and the wave hello and goodbye from his garden every time we passed by your house.
Matt is so much more than a neighbor … the same goes for Rosemary as well. Matt and Rosemary, or as my kids used to call them, “MatterMary” are true friends.
I wish I could offer more than love.
You were a good friend Kit & I will surely miss you. We enjoyed our many get togethers, with you and Rosemary. The special trips with you, whether we were going to a concert, dinner or a road trip up to Sturbridge, Mystic, etc. we always had a wonderful time. Thank you for always making these trips a special occasion. We will hold our special memories of the time spent you in our hearts. . .until we meet again! God Bless you!!

I was so sorry to hear of Matt’s passing. I have known the Morin family for many, many years and most recently Matt was interested in my son’s sled hockey endeavors. He will truly be missed. Prayers and happy memories for his family. Love Michelle, Dave and Ryan
I will never forget the day Rosemary said “that man is the love of my life” or Matt singing and dancing with her in the kitchen to country song “She Thinks My Trailors Sexy”. A true love story. They brought so much joy to each others lives. And I remember Matt always getting Holly and Ewald to laugh out loud and bring them joy. He was a wonderful son in law to them. One in a million. My sincerest condolences. There are no words other than to try to take some solace in knowing he knew how much he was loved.
Dear Mark, Faith, and Matthew’s Family,
We wish to give you our heartfelt condolences for the loss of your brother Matthew. We remember you from many years ago when you lived in Wethersfield, CT. We remember all three of you being very friendly and well-mannered children when we visited you and your mother Nancy at your home while she was married to Clem Hitchcock, Marci’s brother. We have thought of you over the years and are happy that you are all successful and have wonderful families.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time and may Matthew Rest in Peace.
We will make a donation in his name.
Frank and Marci James
