Not sure what to say?

Mike was the consummate musician who could play any type of music on just about any instrument. Anyone who had the fortunate pleasure of spending time with Mike knew that he loved music and loved to find the humor in life. He was a good friend to me and I miss him.

My deepest condolences to the Martin family.

Though many years ago, your friendship and musical influence impacted me greatly. You taught me a great deal. Thanks for the memories.

Joan & Don,
So sorry to hear of the loss of your son. Although we didn't know him, he sounds like an amazing person who touched a lot of lives.
Our condolences to you and your family.

To the Martin family. I haven't seen Mike in over 30 years. I often spoke of him as a "musical genius" and I still feel that way about him. Like my mother, who passed away earlier this year, I wish I had a fraction of their talent. Mike and I used to cause all kinds of trouble in junior high, high school and at Associated Press gigs. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Myself and others I know who had the privilege of being musically associated with Mike always spoke with great reverence of his amazing natural talent.

His easy smile and pleasant nature will always be remembered , as well as the great times we had together in the bands I had the honor of playing in with him.

Please allow me to extend my deepest sympathies and love to the entire Martin family.

Mike was amazing in so many ways.
So many memories still make me smile. He will be missed.
Much love to the Martin family.

Don, Im sorry for the loss of your son. Praying for your family.
