Marty didn't wait for retirement to enjoy his life. As a bachelor until age 30, he rode to Alaska on his motorcycle and many other places. When he met Sue and the girls, he became a family man. He and Sue then began "Living the Dream" camping, fishing, and riding the trails Up North on their snowmobiles and ATVs. He was a great husband, dad, and granddad. Marty especially enjoyed deer camp with his grandsons, Ben and Derek.
