Iris, my condolences to you and your family. I'll always remember Marty fondly, especially our great trip through Ireland many years ago with you two. He was a wonderful, professional individual. Sincerely, Pat Magee (Candy Industry magazine when we traveled together)

I owe my successful life to Marty. He was my mentor, my counselor, and my teacher. My heart is very heavy.

My firm, Shepard Schwartz & Harris, were Marty's and Leaf's accountants for many years. I will always remember Marty's wonderful smile and pleasant voice.

Dear Jamie and family,

My mom is not a computer user, so she asked me to write in the guest book on behalf of our family.

It is a poignant and sad time for you all I am sure. Know that our thoughts are with you and we wish you all peace and the comfort of your loved ones as you assimilate the passing of your dad. Take care.

Warmly,

Erika Leaf, for Fredi, Marshall, and Brook Leaf and Chris Meeker
