I am so saddened to hear Martin in no longer with us. He was my oldest friend in Sonoma county. i met he and his friend Sherman in a bar in Austria in 1974.

We had a sweet connection for 50 years. i look forward to sharing a special story at his memorial. What time will his memorial start?

Very nice guy. Always waved and said hi when I walked past. One less friendly face in the world and a model of how to treat others. Will try to emulate his kindness going forward.
