My deepest sympathies to the Matuszek family during your time of loss.

Mr. Matuszek was a great professor, loved his career, spoke affectionately about his family, genuinely cared about other people, challenged and encouraged me as a student and human being. I will never forget the lessons he taught me, conversations, his smile and love of life. He will be sorely missed.

Sorry for your loss. He was a great instructor at WCCC.

Condolences. RIP!
