He was and always will be my brother in, Jook Lum Tong Leong Gwo Shu Goan, I started in, Connecticut, and ended in, Maryland. He was there at my banquet I've stayed at his home we competed together at tournaments. He was one of the greatest forms, Champion, that ever was. Other than, Grand Master Manuel R. Agrella, he was the greatest.

I knew Martin since he was a kid in karate and he was a friend of my son, Albert, as well. My condolences go out to Martin's family and to his father, Manny, who was my karate instructor in the 1960's and 1970's.
