I am so sorry to hear about Matt's passing. He and Tommy were two of my best childhood friends. We spent many, many years playing together in the neighborhood of Eleanor St. and Goodrich Ave. We also went to Lyman Moore and Deering together. Although we lost touch as adults, the Flaherty family holds a special place in my heart. Deepest condolences to Matt's family and to Tad and his family. I have only the fondest memories of our times together.
