We had so much fun going out in the community “shaking hands and kissing babies” and making the radio station stand out from the rest. We cared. He cared. And he took his position seriously.

I’ll never forget those music meetings where we would all gather up in our office and Matt would introduce the music he would be presenting to “the committee”. You could tell he was excited by certain tunes, but tried to be fair for all of them.

Of course there were those moments that stand out more than others, like when he played the wrong cut of a song’s intro and empathically dropped the “F” bomb live on air. Was it Bloodhound Gang? I knew something was wrong when all of a sudden there was dead air…and EVERYONE was laughing!!

Hanging out at the beach or shooting hoops. You guys were my boys.

I can not help but smile that Matt passed on April Fool’s Day. Now that’s a statement!

Love you Matt Cooper. You made your mark on Ventura.
