I loved working with Marty McKinnon!! He was so helpful and willing to enhance and support all of my quirky academic ideas...He never made me feel like my requests for learning materials were too complex. He sought out every educational item he could find to support whatever zany teaching idea I could come up with.... He was THEE BEST GUY to talk to when I was homesick.... I am living back home in Cleveland now. But - it is important that his family knows the great impact he had on teachers and students. He shared his love of reading and learning with all of us. He will truly be missed.

Charlene, I remember working with you and Marty on your basement project years ago, and am so sorry to hear of his passing. He was always a friendly face on the street, and will be missed.

He was my librarian when I was younger. I always looked forward to seeing him in the library. His bright smile and personality will be missed.
