To the Martinez family, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Carlos was a great friend and teammate at St. Louis University. And we had the extra connection of being from Chicagoland...I went to St. Francis HS in Wheaton. His teams at St.Pat's were always some of the best in the area. To me, his greatest attribute as a teammate was that he was the ultimate unselfish player...a wonderful ballhandler and passer who always tried to make his teammates look good. I'm thankful that Kathie...

It was a pleasure meeting you today at the gathering at St. Pats. I had the distinct privilege of being a classmate of Carlos at St. Pats ('68). One great thing about Carlos is that all who had the opportunity to know him came away with wonderful memories.
