I knew Marty Byrne since Rosemary and I became best buddies in the 6th grade. I recall a life of love and kindness-a life well spent.

Marty and Dorthy, put up with countless hours of kids playing in their yard and on their roof, never once did they complain. Marty had to stay busy with his hands, either fixing things or doing yard work. It didn't have to be his own yard/house. I know, I was his next door neighbor. He quietly showed me what it was to be a man of the house and take on responsibilities. When you visit Marty, made sure you had plenty of time,He loved to talk. Those conversations, were about history and life. At a young age, I didn't realize it. I now know. Thank you for being the "husband,father,and neighbor"that I am trying to become. My prayers are with the Byrnes family. Rodney.

Marty and Dorothy are good examples for all of us. Best buddies, they maintained a good marriage, raised wonderful children who in turn have reared great kids and grandkids. We have always enjoyed our time with Marty, Dorothy and all of the kids. Very generous, fun loving, hospitable people. Our thoughts are with all of you. And to all of the family, keep on making Marty, Sr. proud! Hugs to all of you!

Marty was such an amazing man. Both he and Dorothy were my adopted grandparents that lived next door. They new me as Sissy, and loved me like I was part of their family. I have since moved to Texas but tried to visit when I came home. I'm just sorry that I failed to do so on my last trip. They say give a man their flowers when they're alive because they can't appreciate them when they're gone. Marty....know that I tell my son about you, Casey, the tree house and all the wisdom you and Dorothy have parted on me.
To the Byrne family - thank you for allowing my family to share such a wonderful man with you all.
Love Sissy (Connie)

We have appreciated being Marty's neighbor for 56 years. Our children and theirs grew up together. He was very generous to include our children along with his on outings. He and his father did the plumbing for our bathroom remodel. He was a good and kind person and will be missed.

Knowing Rosemary only reminds me what a difference good fathers
make. He was dedicated to his family, loving each and every one so much. (And I got all that in one visit at the nursing home!!) He will live on in all their hearts, daily.

He passes on his proud Irish heritage, laughter, passion for sports, and love of family to me. We will all miss him very much, but his spirit can be seen in all of his children and grand children.

A man of all seasons. 30 years being neighbors were to short when you live next door to a pilar of a man. A family is only as strong as the Father. As a single parent for most of those 30 years, Marty did so many things a neighbor would not do for his neighbor, but he did. One morning I heard this strange noise and looked outside and there he was, Marty, digging up my front yard, looking for a leak. It started to rain so Marty covered up the area and waited until the rain had soaked into the ground. It was very cold, I mean Seattle cold, but Marty kept on until he had replaced with a new pipe. He was a savior to my family many many times. The world has lost an angel with a pipe wrench and heaven has graduated a servant with top honors.
