On behalf of American House we want to convey our deepest sympathy to you. We want to thank you for the privilege of caring for him at Maplewood Manor. May God bless and comfort you as you grieve.

Martin was a very special man and he will be dearly missed at Maplewood manor. I had the privilege of taking care of Mart for 3.5 years and he grew very near and dear to my heart. Rest in peace "Gramps".

Rest In Peace Uncle Mart. I loved spending time with you and Aunt Grace. You can give her hugs from us all! Give grandma a big hug from me too!❤

Rest in Peace Uncle Mart. I have so many wonderful memories of growing up with you and Aunt Grace. Water skiing at your cottage, Christmas, your jokes and Aunt Grace playing the organ. You will be missed.
