Cornelius A. Martin

My wife and I were fortunate enough to have met Mr. Martin in Lexington. He greeted us to his dealership and treated us like long time friends. We stood in awe of him and his accomplishments. This is a tragic loss.

Cornelius A. Martin is a prime example of the I am Third Rule: God First, Others second, Me third. He is now joined with his Creator and his family who has gone before him: Father, Mother, and several sisters and brothers. May his family, Gail, Amber, Chad, and Coleman find comfort in that his spirit lives in you and you will join him again as a family.

My wife and I were at the funeral home selecting a grave maker for her mother's grave while visitation was going on for Mr. Martin. My wife and I were very touched by the number of caring people present for such a distingished gentleman of the community. Our thoughts and prayers are for the all the family and friends for a man who will be missed by many.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

He was a great example for all African American people in Bowling Green. I always admired his success and use it to remind myself I too can be great. May God bless him and I know he will be a leader in the after life too.

My deepest thoughts and prayers go out to you. May God bless you and give you strength.

Although I never had the privilege to meet such an inspirational man, I am close friends with Amber. It is through Amber's friendship and personality that I am able to say Mr. Martin did a wonderful job as a father. I thank him for passing down integrity and concern for other people to my friend. Your family is in our hearts and prayers.

This is a true hero who will be remembered by his deeds. Condolances to the family, friends, community and especially those who will not have the oppertunity to know him. May the Lord keep his wife and children in his arms and give them the courage and strenght to endure. Prayer is the answer.

I am very thankfull for what Mr. Martin stood for, and the memory he left behind. May god bless his family, and his memory be cherrished.
