I'm sure somebody is designing the banner that Krista mentioned as I type this. We're right next door in Hollidaysburg, if a design is chosen we'd be happy to print, finish & deliver it.

Also, Krista... if you need us to help keep the ball rolling at the shop until you get back on your feet, just let us know what needs done and we'll make it happen. I've talked to Scott B. and he can get in touch with me.

Having watched this thread unfold I am at a loss for words for Matt's family, close friends and new found ones. My hope is that his positive energy he had is passed to those who knew and loved him. It's obvious his generosity made an impact on those around him.

Krista, I know we hav never met, but on any transition help you might need. If you need any help with presentations to your clients, design or answer anything related to construction, ADA or other signage issues I am willing to offer my services at no charge for as long as you need.

Krista, Matt was a model citizen and remarkable human being— evident in only the short conversations we had and his posts here. If we can help in any way, please let me know. We have multiple phone lines and CSRs we can help with phones, fulfillment, whatever you may need. I'd be willing to join a few other S101'ers on helping bring you up to speed on anything that I'm knowledgable in that may be needed in your shop.

I can only hope that one day someone would offer the same to my family should something ever happen to me.

Hi this is Michael, Some of you may remember from Matt's sign meet last year, I am the guy who owns the restaurant near Matts sign shop and best friend. I just wanted to update everyone on the progress. Krista and the kids are doing well, I have been trying to keep Krista busy and helping her with a lot of the planning for Matts Funeral, the viewing will be Friday, 2-4 and 7-9 and the funeral will be Saturday at 11. The funeral home is Stevens mortuary 1421 8th Avenue, Altoona Pa 16602. I have set an account at a local bank for anyone who wishes to make contributions. It is C & G bank
in care of Krista Samuel, 1201 12th Street Altoona, PA 16601. I want to thank you ALL for being apart of Matts extended family, being around him alot he spoke so highly of this group of people, and as we all know it made his day if he could any of you with a problem, a question, a concern or even just to chat. Matt will be truly missed by myself. As some wrote earlier, and Im going to use the quote for myself " I AM TRULY GLAD TO CALL MY BEST FRIEND" If anyone wants or needs anything and cannot get in touch with Krista, Here is my cell number 814 934 0298 or my email
mr082565@aol.com. (as you can see by my email it is my intials and birth date and also the date Matt passed August 25 ), I know that she (we) are going to need help and have questions with the sign business, and I would like to thank you in advance for any help or advice that you can offer to keep Matts legacy continuing. Thank you.
 
Thanks for the update Mike and for the help that you have been giving Matt's family. This is a great forum and I am sure that any questions that either of you have will be answered quickly so don't hesitate to ask. Never got to meet Matt, but he sounds like a great guy. Take care.

Just received an email from Matt's brother Chris which bears sharing:

Hello,

My brother was Matt Vipond, and I'd like to express my gratitude to you and all the fine people at signs101.com. Every little bit helps with the healing, and it's great to see that he had so many great friends all around the country. Matt would truly be touched at all the posts in the forum. We've started a Facebook group for Matt here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=123208380138 Thanks again, and I may be seeing you around the forums for some much needed help along with his better half Krista.


Sincerely,


Chris Vipond
