I was shocked and very sadened to hear of Marty's death. Marty was my Minco sales Manager for a number of years and was a true gentleman. Marty was always a pleasure to work with.

Diane, I am so sorry for you and the children. A very great loss. I worked with Marty in the Sales dept. from the time he started at Minco until I retired. I was always impressed with his speaking ability when doing tours in the company, for visitors and employees. My prayers will be for you and the children, and time will help.

Marty was a great mentor for me at Minco. A real driving force for HVAC products. I remember him saying: There is $10K in sensor business in every new 30 story building going up. I will think of Marty every time I see a construction site.

Diane and Family;
I learned of Marty's passing this afternoon from an old Minco friend. Marty and I shared the same office back in 1981 right after he started at Minco. Marty and I always enjoyed each other's company and had a great and fun time in the old Minco days. Time goes by so quickly. My sincere condolences go out to you and your family. I hadn't seen Marty since the Minco anniversary celebration. I learned of his illness about six months ago. My thoughts and prayers...

Sorry to hear about Marty's illness and passing. I enjoyed Marty's presence in the training classes I conducted at Minco. His sense of humor and willingness to learn was delightful. He will be missed.

I was so sorry to hear about Marty's passing, and especially at such a young age. I worked with him for many years at Minco before retiring. He was always great to encounter....a true gentleman. We need more like him! Condolences to his wife and family. He will be missed.
