You always said "a picture is worth a thousand words". Your picture.. well a thousand seems too little for someone so amazing. Thanks for being God's finest.. I will miss you greatly Grandpa!

To a very speical neighbor and a speical friend that he will be missed. He will be in our prayers.

I did not know "Marty" long but I can say from knowing his daughter Deb he was a good father who raised her with a strong moral character and also passed on to her his love of life, simple pleasures and friends. He will be missed.

My sincere sympathy to the Colleran Family... Mr. Colleran was one of my favorite customers... He always made me laugh... I loved processing his photos... I will forever look at Elmo and think of him... He will be sadly missed.

Honored to have known such an outstanding man ! He always had me in stitches! I know he is in heaven at a big garage sale!! I thank him for raising such a fine daughter, who I am blessed to have as a best friend!! My heart and prayers are with the entire family. Love you all!

I am truely blessed to have called you my "Father". The picture scrapbook of your life filled with treasured memories will remain with me forever. Be at peace in God's love until we meet again. I hope they have great pie in Heaven.

May you find comfort in the Hearer of prayer at this time. Psalm 65:2

Sorry for your loss I know losing a parent is the worst there is, and growing up together like we did he will be missed.
