Tortorella attended the brothers' funeral last month in a Philadelphia suburb."I thought the two wives were so strong in how they handled themselves," Tortorella said. "No one can imagine. No one can. I’m hoping to get to know the family. I think a number of coaches want to get to know the family, the girls, Matt’s family. It’s just horrible what happened. It’s still pretty fresh. It’s here. It’s with us. Down the street. We just want to be part of it and try and help.
