I was with GE Marine Gas Turbine Engines in Cincinnati and had occasion to work with Marty many times. I always enjoyed working with him because of his knowledge, dedication and enthusiasm. He was a gentleman. Marty, I will always regret that we never managed to re-engine the SS United States with LM gas turbines though we tried several times.

In addition to his family and friends, The Mariners' Museum lost a dear friend and inspiration in Marty. With every conversation, we loved his sailor's perspective from which we gained much. We are a far better place through Marty's volunteering and his solid advice. Never one to beat around the bushes, we loved the fact that Marty told it like it was. "Fair seas..., Marty.
