Matthew Daly, age 63, of Oak Ridge, passed away on Sunday, January 14, 2018 at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital in New York City with the comfort of his wife Debbie by his side.
He was born in Passaic and raised in Little Falls. Matt graduated in 1972 from Paul VI Regional High School in Clifton, where he was on the Cross Country and Track teams.
Matt continued his education at the College of Steubenville in Ohio where he graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Accounting with the Class of 1977. He received his Masters Degree in Accounting from Fairleigh Dickenson University.
After college, his work history in the accounting profession include Botany Mills in Clifton, Panasonic Corporation in Secaucus, and the Singer-Kearfott Corporation that would change names to BAE Systems in Little Falls and Totowa where he has worked for the last thirty-four years.
It was during his tenure at Singer-Kearfott in Little Falls that Matt met the love of his life Debbie. They worked together and for four years nobody at the company knew they were dating. As Matt got promotions, Debbie would wind up moving into his former position. It would seem management thought they worked well together; they just didn’t really know how well. Their first date was to see the movie “Year of Living Dangerously” which was so bad they walked out. As they left it began hailing. After they married, Matt would recount how bad their first date was and that he was sure a higher authority was trying to warn him. They fell deeply in love and while driving to The Harbor Restaurant in Parsippany, where Matt planned to propose, they got stuck in traffic on Route 3. Matt confided to Debbie that he didn’t get her anything for her birthday and suggested they pick up a microwave. Deb’s anger level began edging up when, at the Route 3 and Route 46 merge, Matt asked her to marry him. “You romantic devil” as she couldn’t believe he would ask her this while stuck in traffic! He didn’t actually have the ring yet as he told the guy he was buying it from not to hurry. That was Matt’s personality, not wanting to put anybody out. They married on October 12, 1986 at Saint Mary’s Church in Passaic and honeymooned in Hawaii. When it was time to leave Hawaii Debbie was very sad and Matt promised to bring her back on their 25th anniversary, which he did. He was certainly a man of his word. They have enjoyed a loving, devoted, and caring marriage of thirty-two years. During their years together they were blessed with a daughter, Katie. Having a daughter was predicted by Matt many years earlier when they were dating. Matt looked at Debbie and said “when we have a daughter we need to name her Katie.” Deb asked him how he knew they would have a daughter and not a son. He just said “I just know.” Matt and Debbie would see both of their parents through the autumn years of their lives. Deb moved her dad into their home without even asking Matt. He didn’t blink an eye…that was Matt…and that loyal and loving, take charge personality where you do what you have to do, is what he truly loved about Deb.
Matt will be remembered for being fun and mellow with a dry sense of humor, and the best one-liners ever. Matt-isms, as they became to be known, some not repeatable, made everyone laugh. Many will remember Matt as the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back or the hat off his head. Speaking of hats, Matt had a baseball style hat for just about any occasion. He would often look through his hundreds of hats for just the right one. Matt, who loved to be different, was an Oakland Raiders fan. His love of the beach stretches back to his childhood where he spent summers on Long Beach Island with his cousins. He thought he would never get his feet in the sand as his illness was affecting his mobility. He found his true “happy place” when he was able to get the sand between his toes just this past September. Matt loved beer and was always searching for the perfect IPA as the more flavor from the hops in the brew the better he liked it. Matt truly enjoyed quality time with his daughter Katie and searching for the perfect cheeseburger. This quest took them from New Jersey to San Diego, California.
Matt was the loving husband of Debbie (Bopp) Daly; devoted father of Katie Daly and her fiancé Matt Albanese; he was the much loved brother of Eileen Howard of Cary, NC, Pat O’Brien of Hilton Head, SC, Fr. Kevin Daly OFM of Butler, the late Kathleen Kessel, Maryann Cavino of Cary, NC, the late Sean Daly, the late Timothy Daly, and Rosemary Russo and her husband Tom of Butler; he was the cherished uncle of many nieces, nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews.
