My memories of Uncle Don are sweet and the music plays on in my heart. An integral and ever present part of the Martin Clan, he is ever cherished. May he rest blessedly surrounded with the Music of God´s Kingdom. Prayers of comfort to those who grieve him today.

I remember Don from St. Jeans. He was helpful to my brother, Jerry, during some tough times. I found him to be a compassionate person.

I went through high school with Don, Dan, & Mary. Don and I were in the Navy Reserves in Muskegon during our senior year. We both played in the CCHS band, and after graduation both became US Navy musicians. We were in boot camp and Washington, DC together, but served on different ships in the Mediterranean from 1959 to 1961. Don was a skilled clarinetist (and all woodwinds). I will miss my dear friend. Rest in Peace, Don.

My sincere condolences are sent to the Martin, Allen and Brown families for the loss of their loved one. May cherished memories comfort you as you grieve his passing.

Phil, Jimmy, Richard..I'm sorry to read of your dad's passing. I remember meeting him back in the early-mid 70's. Seems to me he was a nice man. He raised good kids, that's a good indication right there. You'll be in my prayers.
