Local A/V cable installer Matthew Pierce died of a sudden heart attack October 20, 2011 while on his way to a job in Glendale. Matt was well-known among TV systems integrators in southern California, having worked for Centro, SAIC, CBT, and more lately, National TeleConsultants (NTC). I can tell you from personal experience that he had a confident, cheerful demeanor who made a professional product and loved his bass fishing. An obituary is posted here.
