Joseph "Marty" Trigg

MY BROTHER
I know that you had many friends and I know that I was one of them but what you did not know was that you were my best friend in the begining and in the end forever. Most of the time we would talk like brother musicians but other times we would talk about life and our own personal desires which did not include leaving our wives or family to persue music careers but rather finding ways to exchange our ideas over the internet. We came so close to acheiving that and we could both...

I will always remember what a kind and generous person Marty was. He always had time to listen to you, and made you feel special.

My name is Mark Shipp and I too worked with Marty for several years at Hamilton Standard. My image of Marty will forever encompass that that of a cranky, jolly, and generous man all in one. As many have already said, Marty was a terrific musician and was passionate about it. When he was not at work dealing with electronics, he could likely be found somewhere playing a fiddle, a guitar, or his banjo. My best memory of him playing was when he invited me to come up to Tres Hombres in...

But for the many miles between us we would have had many more good times together. We'll miss you and remember the times we shared.

Bruce and I spent the last couple of years enjoying Sharon and Marty's beautiful home and their company. Sitting in the back yard we would view the valley and experience the coolness of the air. Yes, music was always there, so much like something you would hear in Scotland/Ireland. When I (Judy)first heard his voice, I couldn't believe what I heard. Instantly, I was caught by this big voice and could not stop listening. Yes, he could play anything and only added to my amazement. We also...

I love my brother and I miss him dearly...he will always be with me in my heart...

Marty was one of my favorite cousins, and one of the most talented musicians I've ever claimed as a relative.
One of my earliest memories was of Marty showing us little hick Kansas cousins how to override the speed governor on our 3-horse gokart, making it go maybe 20 mph instead of 15!! We thought were driving a rocket sled!
And then when he visited a few years later, he brought a guitar and was already singing and playing beautifully as a young teenager.
I will always remember...

Marty is remembered by this cousin as an easygoing spirit who more often than not, had a mischevious grin on his face and a far-off look in his eyes. He was an outdoorsy person who seemed to relish fresh air in his face and the wind at his back. Marty was an accomplished musician who was always picking up
new opportunities to learn and play.
My fondest memory is of him playing a fiddle and my brother, Bo, on the guitar at my wedding reception in
the middle of a field of clover in...

May your enduring memories provide you with comfort in this sad loss. I last saw Marty as a child before I left home. He was a wonderful cousin and I know that my siblings (his other cousins) have enjoyed knowing him as an adult. With love and sympathy -- Joanna MacWilliams Jones
