My wife Jean and I are in the area for a brief time, and I happened to spot Martin's obituary in the paper. I'm sorry to hear of his passing. I enjoyed knowing and working with him when I too worked at IIG&E years ago. He was a good man and it sounds like he was a successful jewelry and lapidary artsan in retirement. My condolences to Barb and the family.

I am very sad about your recent loss of Marty. I wanted to attend his memorial but was out of town and did not arrive back in Phoenix until late Friday afternoon. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
