My Condolence to the Family. The Best Bartender The Rib Room ever had. RIP Mr Martin.

I met Mr Martin in 1986 when I went to work at the Royal Orleans hotel. I worked in different areas of the hotel. I was a actually the first woman to ever wait tables in the Rib Room. Then 2 weeks later Leona Falgout followed me. Mr Martin was such a character! Funny, charming, a true gentleman, happy and took pride in creating his cocktails. He always had a smile on his face and loved life! The best brandy milk punch I've ever had. Enjoyed my time spent working with him. My thoughts and...

Mr. Martin was an amazing man. I learned so much from him at the Royal Orleans Hotel where I worked with him for 21 years. He taught me a lot about food & bevarage but more about people and how to handle the public. What an inspiration he was and still is for me. My condolences to his family. My life is richer because he was in it.

Papa, me, Ameerah and Martin miss you so much. Our lives will never be the same, Christmas will never be the same. I am so glad God bless me to have you in my life for 20 years. Rest easy Papa Fess.....Love your daughter in law Yvette...
