  1. I always appreciated Marty and his hard work in MLSD. He was one of a kind always having a smile on his face. He and Diane were also great neighbors of ours we when lived in the same development. May he rest in peace.

    • Marty was the first neighbor I met when I moved into my home. He always lent a helping hand. I had many great conversations with him over the years even after he moved from his home. He was a proud grandfather.

  8. I always enjoyed seeing Marty in the mailroom at North Madison Elementary. He always had a bright smile and joyful words to share. Our paths crossed in the last year. He recognized me immediately. We chatted for awhile. Praying for his family.

Marty kicked window in door breaking it. Principal made him pay for window. Marty paid in PENNIES ! Made Marty roll the pennies for bank.

  13. I was so sad to see this. I haven’t worked for MLSD for a while but when I worked at the pre-k and he Would come in to deliver the mail he was always so very kind and always had a smile in his face . He would always call me by name and ask me how my day was and we would make small talk. Just a sweet gentle soul always. Prayers to his wife and family . He was one I will definitely never forget. RIP Marty. 🤍
