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.
I’ll always remember the time you took me fishing and I caught a musky and you said that you have been fishing there for years and never got one.
Love you and thank you for loving and taking
Good care of my sister Diane.
RICH
I Am Very Sad hearing of Marty’s passing. He was a Very Nice Man & had a Contagious Smile. Honored to have worked with him at MLSD. My Thoughts & Prayers go out to his family 🙏
So very sorry to hear this – He was always so much fun to talk to when he came around and was always willing to help out…I am so sorry, Diana, for your loss and to your family.
Always making me laugh every time
We talked, shared tons of stories. Our Grandchildren were his world,and we’re going to miss him at all the future events! Especially your pocket of candy that you always had for us! Forever you’ll be watching over us with your love and guidance! RIP Papa!
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.
A great man gone too soon….
Chris-Charlene George. Peace be with you
I remember back in 69? Marty had to walk to Redbird elementary from Campbell rd. To catch bus to High School. December very cold. Janitor would not let kids in out of cold. Marty kicked window in door breaking it. Principal made him pay for window. Marty paid in PENNIES ! Made Marty roll the pennies for bank.
As his daughter I heard this story many many times. Thanks for sharing.
