[Mpls] Mike Matson

[Delcalzojan]

I would like to thank Peter McLaughlin for posting the information about the funeral service for Mike Matson.  It was a great shock for me , and I am sure for many others, who had known Mike during his years of service at Hennepin County and as the Council Member Aide for Tony Scallen at the Minneapolis City Council. 

I worked with Mike at City Hall and remember him as a hard working public servant in the truest sense of that phrase.  He wanted to make lives better for people and used his knowledge and contacts to solve problems - many times in difficult situations.  He did it with a sense of humor, a characteristic that is too often absent in today's hectic world.

Mike always remembered others, asking about mutual friends whenever we ran into each other in recent years.  I will miss him as I am sure all those who worked with him will too.
