Not sure what to say?

Marty...my favorite cousin...such a beautiful, kind, considerate, and loyal man. I will never forget him. God Bless him and the Byrne family.

I knew Marty Byrne since Rosemary and I became best buddies in the 6th grade. I recall a life of love and kindness-a life well spent.

Marty and Dorthy, put up with countless hours of kids playing in their yard and on their roof, never once did they complain. Marty had to stay busy with his hands, either fixing things or doing yard work. It didn't have to be his own yard/house. I know, I was his next door neighbor. He quietly showed me what it was to be a man of the house and take on responsibilities. When you visit Marty, made sure you had plenty of time,He loved to talk. Those conversations, were about history and life. At...

We feel blessed to have known and spend time with Marty over the years. A great husband, father and grandfather. He will be missed but not forgotten.

Dear Dorothy, Kathleen, Rosemary and Family,
We wish to send each of you our supportive prayers as Martin enters his eternal life. May his new life in God's Presence be a deep source of peace for you all, and may you know his nearness always.

Marty and Dorothy are good examples for all of us. Best buddies, they maintained a good marriage, raised wonderful children who in turn have reared great kids and grandkids. We have always enjoyed our time with Marty, Dorothy and all of the kids. Very generous, fun loving, hospitable people. Our thoughts are with all of you. And to all of the family, keep on making Marty, Sr. proud! Hugs to all of you!

Marty was such an amazing man. Both he and Dorothy were my adopted grandparents that lived next door. They new me as Sissy, and loved me like I was part of their family. I have since moved to Texas but tried to visit when I came home. I'm just sorry that I failed to do so on my last trip. They say give a man their flowers when they're alive because they can't appreciate them when they're gone. Marty....know that I tell my son about you, Casey, the tree house and all the wisdom you and...

We have appreciated being Marty's neighbor for 56 years. Our children and theirs grew up together. He was very generous to include our children along with his on outings. He and his father did the plumbing for our bathroom remodel. He was a good and kind person and will be missed.
