MARTIN F. SCHWARTZ

I am sitting here reading everything about Uncle Martin and smiling through my tears. Although we lived a distance away, it was always great how he would chat with me and truly be interested in what was going on with me and my world. So many fantastic ways, Uncle Martin, you added to the world and the people around you. Thank you for being a part of my life Uncle Martin! Debbie, Nomi and families, my deepest sympathy and condolences. May our memories and experiences with Uncle Martin...

MARTIN SCHWARTZ
He was the cigar-maker’s son who forgot nothing and collected everything. “I get interested,” he said, “in just about everything I touch.” At 83, driving along the New Jersey Turnpike, he noticed the Molly Pitcher Rest Stop and wondered, “Who was she again?” and so he called one of his daughters to search the Internet and soon there was another file, “Molly Pitcher,” among the countless he kept.

[From Funeral service for Martin Schwartz, 5/11/10 - Son-in-law Ben Freed]

What joy, tears,pain,delicious memories,sadness,fullness,loss and gratitude for being able to share all of you via this machine...Ellen

From Richard Magat...old friend
Marty was a leader who never shrank from adventure. Witness his service as admiral of the Pipes cove fleet and his magnificent tribute to Maxwell Anderson.
I recall his willingness to join me in ad adventure in 1972. We were taking a walk in Tibbetts Brook Park and discussing the recent defeat of George McGovern at the Hand of Richard Nixon when we came upon a spring of falling water, at the bottom of which were a shopping cart and other debris. ...
