The Passing of Matt Peter

I know I share the same thoughts and sentiments as many friends and colleagues regarding the devastating news of the passing of Matt Peter.  Matt was a tireless public servant who played so many vital roles throughout the community.  I had the pleasure of working on the Blight to Betterment Task Force with Matt, among other projects.  Whenever I ran into Matt at an event or on the street, I was always greeted with a friendly "Hey" and a hug.  I ran into him once at Dove + Deer and he said "Are you submitting a grant application to the County tomorrow?"  My response was "I am now!"  Matt was a supporter of Historic Albany Foundation and frequent attendee at our events.  I will miss his warm personality, great wit and his sage advice whenever I asked for his help.  Matt was a very bright light that will be missed by so many.  I chose this photo of Matt that was shared by Joe Bonilla because this is how I choose to remember him.
