Not sure what to say?

Sad, and heart broken to learn of Marty's passing. An exceptional Man. I was His Mailman for about 10 years, and even when I no longer had His street on My Route He'd swing by with words of encouragement, and a laugh, or two. The World was better with Him in it. Now Heaven is His address. RIP My Friend!...... Leo

condolences to the family . So lucky to have known such a wonderful person. Sherry it was a pleasure to know you both. Miss you.

I can't top what Brenda said. He was my uncle too. Too many fond memories to share. One was the time he took us to DFW before it opened to ride the trams. Better than Disneyland! My mother went to high school with uncle Marty. Aunt Sherrie, Michael, David and those I haven't met....I grieve with you.

Very saddened by this news. He was a dear friend of my Grandmother and Grandfather, and I grew up calling him “Uncle Marty.” He was always one of my favorite guests at the Magid Christmas party. May he Rest In Peace.

I am struggling to process the loss of a man who was my father's best friend, and because we had no extended family here in Dallas, was my Uncle Marty for all of my life. I feel there are so few of their breed left in this world. True family men. With larger than life personalities that lit up a room and could fill it with contagious joy. Men who kept their word with a handshake. Men who would get down on the floor to play with a kid and their toys. Men who were the first at the hospital when...

Sherrie, Mike, David & families: I was saddened to hear of Marty’s passing. My very sincerest sympathies. May Marty’s memory be for a blessing to each of you. Love, Andrea Breitbarth Solka
