Dear Barbara and Robert, and the entire Weiss family.
My sincerest condolences on the recent loss of your dad, Marty. He was one of my closest friends when I 1st joined the Thomson Country Club, some 25 years ago. My wife Meryl and I used to go out with Marsha and Marty to many of the local haunts seeking a decent meal for a reasonable price. I'll never forget how good he became with that one wooden head golf club that he would use in so many different ways (whose name he gave it but my memory just can't recall it at the moment). He never hesitated to offer a helping hand or a business suggestion when we would often play in our regular foursome in the early to mid 90's.
I missed him when he went to the Senior League Tuesday division but I would always ask for him and then look for him when he moved to the house on the 15th hole.
I truly believe when I hear the saying 'they don't make them like that anymore' fit Marty more than anyone else I know. I was lucky to be one of those friends and miss that comradery. He was smart, honest, a true gentleman and one who could initiate a conversation from even the shiest of us.
