Martin Patrick O'Toole

MIss you, Marty...

Shocked to learn of Marty's passing. We drifted apart over the years but early 90s we enjoyed a rich friendship & some intense basketball matches. Fiercely competitive as he was dogged in his principles. They were years he struggled financially but it never seemed to temper his indomitable spirit Fantastically humorous with an infectious laugh - 100% Irish: I can still hear him saying it to me with an exaggerated Irish accent I met him on a basketball court where I repeatedly beat him...

Love you.

I met Marty at the Compton courthouse in California. We instantly became good friends and would occasionally meet up to catch up and chat. He taught me a lot and was an inspiration.

My Name is Damian Chapa filmmaker , I filmed Marty in his office when he was in Century City. He was also my attorney. He helped my family on many occasions. Marty always made me laugh. I used to say to him he was the most ethical attorney I ever met. He had a way of making people smile and had a great sense of honor. I respected him and loved him as a friend. Its rare to say to a lawyer have a good day brother. I am in shock, he was so young. It brings tears to my eyes. I always called him...

I am so, so very sorry to hear this news. My mom just sent us this obituary notice. I have many memories of Marty being at home while Sharon, Mary Lou, Carolyn, and I played, had lemonade stands, and sang in the basement. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Much love.
