My brother, Mark and myself were together everyday.......we had the best childhood, perfect. I always loved Marty and would have married him in a minute!! Sorry, Mary. He was the most handsome guy I knew. I could not even begin to talk about our adventures in Lincoln. Marcia, Marty , Mark and Charlotte..........life in the 50's was just about perfect, especially in our little part of...

While looking for info. on the old family business (Martin Coffey & Son) I found this for my first cousin Marty (my father was Albert Martin Coffey Jr., the eldest of all those Concord Coffeys). Belated as it is, please accept my condolences on Marty's passing.

To Marty's family:
I knew Marty from elementary through high school, having grown up in Lincoln together. He was a fine man, and his time was far too brief. My heartfelt condolences to you at this very sad time.

Marty's family,
I am so saddened to hear of Marty's passing. Marty and I went to high school together and I spent many hours at his house in Lincoln. He loved life and lived it to his fullest. My thoughts are with you and your family.

“The hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who have given heed [literally, word for word, “the (ones) having heard”] will live.” (Joh 5:25,

I was so sorry to hear of my second cousin Marty passing on. One fond memory is of pulling a sled running through Nanny and Paw's field to Marty's Mom's house. We would go toboganing beside their house through the snow down the steep hill steering through the trees and landing on the iced over pond.

I also remember watching the video of Marty and Mary's remote retreat in Alaska. It seemed unreal in some ways and showed that we had a real pioneer in our family .
Peace & Love.
