Everyone just loved him because he was a character and a great conversationalist. I'm also an actor and a singer, so I used to bring Matt to some of the parties and music sessions I went to. We'd go for a coffee and we became close friends. I started doing fruit and vegetable delivery early in the morning, so when I finished around midday, I would pass by and see Matt. I left that company in 2002 and was suffering quite badly from depression, so a friend called Frank suggested I come and do a bit of driving for him to get me out of the house. I mostly lost touch with Matt when he left the company in 1993, but he had a house in Cashel in the south west of Ireland and if he happened to be there, and I was travelling back from my father's house in the south west, I'd pick him up and save him travelling back to Dublin on the bus. We both lived in Stoneybatter a little suburb close to Dublin's city center and we got to know each other at work. I met Matt around 30 years ago at a telecommunications company in Dublin, Ireland.
