Martin H. Dodd Jr.

I just learning of Martin's passing. Such sad news. I met Martin through his gifted writing talents and our mutual membership through the California Writer's Club Central Coast. A fellow Geogian, we were so impressed with not only his talents but his kindness and gentle generosity. He will be missed so much. Please know that prayers are being said for his family and many other friends, he left a positive legacy and we will never forget him. God Bless you Martin, we loved you and will always...

Martin was my neighbor for 31 years. At the beginning of our relationship he and I served on the Board of Directors of our HOA. I find it rather strange that I never, and still don't, "tag" him as a recovering alcoholic. Instead, Martin was a Leader in whatever action was needed.
Martin had a wonderful capability of joining people together, pushing others to excel, knowledgeable without arrogance, approachable within reason, giving others freedom to express themselves, and all done in a...

Please accept my sincere condolences. May God give you the strength to cope with your loss (Philipians 4:6,7).

I am sad to see Martin leave us, but oh if we could all live such a good life. His work in social model recovery, his writing in his retirement. A life well lived. Martin was my mentor, in every deep sense of the word. I am proud to carry his legacy as a recovery advocate, and he taught me all I ever learned about community recovery centers. His work lives on in our local recovery center in Bangor, Maine. I often once thought of the lives he touched, of those he touched personally, and...

Condolences to the Dodd family.

Martin, Martin, you are such a class act. Always giving 100% in everything you do. I loved you like a brother and when we left the Villas we wanted you to come to Oregon with us. But family ties kept you and you stayed put. May you have a pleasant journey on your celestial departure and meet with Nancy again. Don Bolles

Martin had charm, intellect and wisdom. I always appreciated his sage points of view and caring ways. He was a humble and caring man and a role model to those of us who were fortunate to have known him. I will miss Martin but will never forget his great legacy for truly helping those in need.

Martin Dodd was a giant in the recovery community. Among other things, he was arguably the world's foremost authority on Social Model recovery. He was an intellectual with great passion, and a dreamer with great vision. I am among the men leading full, productive lives today because this man took an old labor camp and turned it into a sanctuary. No doubt some men take their last breath wondering if they made a contribution; but with Martin Dodd there could be no such doubt. Thank you, sir,...

My sympathy to the Dodd family. Martin was a good man. Nikki Burrows
