It is a sad thing when we loose someone we love and care for sooner than any of us are prepared for. Marty was known as "Mr Ponytail" at our house because of the times he came and cared for my fur babies. We were able to share many holidays, campouts, handing out on nice summer days making good food and enjoying his company. He was the best story teller because of the expressive facial expressions that went a long with the stories. Then there was "the look" when we was getting mad followed by flip of the hair and then came the laugh. We miss will miss you as the holidays and the end of summer camp out comes around. There will be a big hole at our table. I love you Martin.

I will always remember you as a sweet man with conviction. When you spoke you had passion even with chapters that were closed in your life. When you could you helped me through some tough times with my boys. I will always remember your contagious LAUGH! We would talk for hours just giggling like school girls. Our friendship was unique. Keep watch over all of us especially your family and Nikki your girl. I know you are up in the heavens all ready causing hell so stop it.

There are no words to describe the loss I feel. I have honestly never known a sadness this profound. I loved Coop so very very much. I am so blessed and grateful that God allowed marty ti come into my life. He made me laugh til I cried! He helped me anytime I asked.....and he was the brother I always wanted. I know he loved me like a sister and that is something no one can ever take away. I dont really know where ti go from here but I know where ever it is he will be with me. I miss you to tears my sweet Coop....till we meet again.

My home is in Nevada, but I had the privilege of socializing with him when he came here with my daughter Kelly. He was at numerous events when I was visiting in Vancouver. I really liked him so much and I am very sorry for your loss.
