Marty was an incredible human being with a fierce capacity to love. He was a devoted son, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend.

He loved fishing, golfing, good music, dancing, cooking, the outdoors, sports, animals (his dog Frankie), and being with his family.

The world will not be the same without him. He will be greatly missed by those who had the privilege to know and love him. Vaya con Dios Martin!
