I am so saddened to learn of Dr Martinson´s passing. A true gentleman and scholar in every way. I thoroughly enjoyed his wit and intellect, his laugh was both unique and entertaining! While there will always be a void with his silence, he will live on through his influence and reflections ipon his life. Thank you for sharing him with the Auburn Family. MOBrien

Heartfelt condolences to Paula, Laura and Amanda. Tom was always gracious and caring, a genuinely sweet man with wide-ranging interests. It was a privilege to know him, to visit with him and Paula and hear about his genealogy research and see his photography projects. He will be missed. May he rest in peace.
