Just found out of Marty's passing. We were science colleagues during the '70s and 80s.He was a great scientist and a better human being,. At the time, he collected toilets (models), of all things. He was a kind person who cared deeply about his fellow man.

Miss you Marty and the passion and support that you gave to your tireless efforts in support of the homeless community

Just found out about Marty's passing since I was out of the country in January and never heard the news. I am simply dumb founded and shocked. My last memory of Marty was dancing together at the Boogie on the Bluff event in Pismo last fall. We, the Central Coast, have lost an exceptional human being, who had so much light in him, unmatched by his intelligence and passion to help others. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones, he will be sorely missed. A

I went to SUNY Stony Brook with Marty back in the 60's. It was such a special time then. We all knew each other in very special ways. We were all Math and Science majors who loved to learn. I will always remember Marty's special laugh and warm ways. I saw him at the last reunion in 2014. He looked great. I was so looking forward to seeing him at the next reunion. I will miss him. I am so sorry for your loss. I know it will leave a big hole in your hearts.

Marti was such an amazing, inspiring, knowledgeable,and caring person. I could never run out of words to describe the impact he made on all of here in SLO County. You will be dearly missed my good friend. Your dash is complete.
Much love.
Theresa

We'll miss him.

I was instantly intrigued by his wealth of knowledge in his chosen profession but more so by his compassion for the homeless and advocacy of many community outreach programs. He also took an interest in helping me become a good business owner and taught me a few things about self-worth. He was always great asking about me and after telling him about my latest business successes, he would say "great! And what about you?" He also took...
