Not sure what to say?

Martin will be sorely missed here at Richmond Place for his friendly manner and wise commentary despite in the face of difficulties.

Martin was a wonderful man and I enjoyed
all my time with him over the years. His
love for horses was a common bond.

Thinking of you daily and hoping for only the best for Dr. Stiles family and lovely wife, Peggy. We are all greatly saddened by the loss of such a wonderful man.

I worked for Dr. Stiles at the UK Chemistry Department and found him to be most interesting. We shared interests in the field of chemistry and a love for all things horses. He will be known for the Stiles reaction and being the editor of JACS. However I will always remember him for his forward thinking in breeding a better Thoroughbred and his love of his wife's soup.

May you find comfort in God in this time of sorrow. Mr.Stiles will be greatly missed. God Bless you as you go through this time of sorrow
