Not sure what to say?

My Love and Prayers to Susan and the family, Marty was a great friend during my 18 years at Harcum. We shared many good talks together. My two children had Marty as a professor at Harcum.

Marty was a colleague of mine at Harcum College. His kindness, warmth, sense of humor and gentle manor brightened my days. I hope that this helps to comfort you and your family in the days ahead.

Love and prayers to the whole family. So sorry for your loss.

Donna and Bill Quirk

I had him at Harcum College, he was a great English professor. My deeply sympathy to you and your family.

Martin Ranft had a great impact upon my growth both as a student at Overbrook HIgh School and as an individual. He opened my mind up to great works of literature and was a deeply adored friend.

I am glad to know he was surrounded by so much love.

Carolyn, we are so sorry for the loss of your father. From all your friends at The Eagle Zone

Mr. Ranft was my High School English teacher for both my junior and senior years at Overbrook High. He was an exceptional educator who always infused his classes with his humor and intellect. I remember him as one of the finest teachers I ever had, and I am sad to hear of his passing. A great man!
