Marty was a wonderful friend, musician, coworker and teacher. I am blessed to have known him and teach with him. He made me laugh and sing and appreciate life. He loved talking about the love of his life, Karma and his beautiful daughter, Chenoa. Marty was a wonderful person who I will miss dearly. All my love.

Chenoa, all my love goes out to you and your mother. I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't know your father well, but I could sense that he was a wonderful person and a very loving and important person in your life. Although I know no words will help, please know my heart is with you both.

Dear Karma,
I am so very sad for you. Marty was your soulmate and you were so happy together. Very unfair that he was taken from you and Chenoa so soon.

Dear Karma,
Marty always impressed us that he came every time Mom and Ken needed help of any kind. We were grateful for that, as were they. Marty obviously made a positive contribution to many family members and friends. He knew he could always count on your love and support. May that thought help to bring God's peace to you now and in the days to come. Our love and prayers surround both you and Chenoa.
Blessings on you,
Lyle and Claire

My heart goes out to you for the loss of this very wonderful, talented and funny guy. I knew him from work, and always enjoyed his cheerful and humorous presense. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Nancy Miller
