"To the family of Brent Matlack. I am so sorry for your loss. Brent is gone too soon. I knew Brent from Southwestern High School and have not seen him for over 30 years but I well remember what a great guy he was. He had a quick smile and a laugh and he made friends easily. I have been away from the Brighton/Alton area for a number of years but I check the Telegraph to stay up on news from back home and I was saddened to hear of Bent's passing. Your family will be in my prayers.

George Willis"
