Harvey G. Martin

NuNu, (Happy belated birthday 9/11, had to get to your house to write you!)

My family as far as i know goes up to the Martins, and im proud to say that its 4 complete generations up. My dad has no family. And i just wanted to say thank you for carrying our family for so long! The one thing that i always counted down was Thanksgiving, every year! And we didnt do that for 2007, but at least you got to be with Paula and her family. And for this coming thanksgiving i know you'll be at...

Well Harv you almost made it to 88.
Happy Birthday!!!!
Irene and I will miss you very much as you have always been an important part of our lives. When we needed help you and Pearl were always there, and throughout our lives you have meant so much to us, Thank you for always being there.
May you have found that all the courses have nothing but birdies for you.
Don and Irene

Mom,
I know you are having a difficult time realizing that Dad is gone. We still expect him to be doing his routine daily events like fixing his waffle at 10:30 and watching Max sit up in front of him waiting for a scrap. Or taking the kitchen trash out and coming clear back to the kitchen before he realized he forgot to bring a bag back with him then saying a few cuss words. Or when he would go out front every 20 minutes to smoke. I think of the things you fussed at him about and he kept...

Grandpa AND Nunu...
I'm not sure where it came from, but when I was a little girl, probably until I got married, you always called me "Dolly"...haven't thought about that much in the last 20 years, but it is a dear memory that has come back to me now, which I will always cherish. My fondest memories of you will usually come from the 11 straight Thanksgiving's at my house in Prescott. You and Nana always worked so hard to shop and pack every ingredient for the 4 day eating marathon for the...

I am very much honored to have known Harvey Martin. A person did not have to be around Harvey for very long to know that he loved his wife, family and country and took great pride in all three. Harvey inspired and touched the lives of many people and I am truly fortunate to have been one. You know you’ve read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend. I feel I have just lost a good friend. May God Bless your soul Harvey Martin.

Great Grandpa, You really are GREAT! One memory that stands out to me was while You and Great Grandma were visiting in Tennessee. It was early in the morning and you asked me if I wanted to go get a donut for breakfast with you. It was just me and you. When I got in the car, I looked back towards the house and saw my mom, my nona, and my great grandma all mouthing for me to buckle my seat belt. Anyone that ever rode with you knows that you definitely didn't drive like a "grandpa"! I miss you...

Grandpa......my first vivid memory of you was when I was 4 years old. I opened the car door while it was still moving and jumped out....I was so excited to see You and Grandma. I hung on to the inside door handle while my little legs dragged on the gravel road. Once it stopped, I layed there crying and it was You that picked me up. You seemed like a giant back then. You patted me on the back saying "it's ok Debbie Do" while Grandma picked the rocks out of my knees. I remember my head resting...

Oh Dad, I miss you soo much. But I have so many wonderful memories of you. Especially all of our hunting trips, when you'd tell me to be ready and if i wasn't, you'd go without me. So I'd get dressed and sit on the side of my bed waiting for you. And when you opened the door and saw me sitting there, a big smile would come across your face and you'd say lets go. Thank you for giving me 60 wonderful years, of cherished memories and of the love you had for your family. You will always be in my...

We are truely going to miss you Grandpa. You have always been such a terrific mentor and friend. We were all very blessed to be a part of your life. We will all cherish the fond memories.

Donald, Vanessa, Allyssa & Kierra
