William Martin

Grateful Bill is out of pain and depression. He put up a good fight but he ran out of strength. I miss him so much... our home is so silent. I am grateful that he is home and that we will be together again some day. 51 years, 3 months and 6 days ... that is how long we had been married. We were kids when we married. I was not quite 18 & a half years old and he was 21. My parents didn't think our marriage would survive but we did! They came to love him very much. God was good. Until we meet...

Bill was the best pastor we had down on pratt ,my dad, was touched by Bill like no other. He is the reason dad is home with Christ today. You will be greatly missed.
ours prayers go out to Diane and family ,thanks for sharing Bill with us. Rex, Rick,& Randy Wright

Dianne & Family, So sorry that we can not be there for you in your time of need, our prayers and condolences to the entire family.
Love Ron & Van Oswald

Dianne: We are very sorry to hear about Bill's passing. We truly enjoyed his friendship and his love of the Lord. He taught and inspired us many times during our days in Bible study and know that he is now happy and content in his heavenly home. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Bev and Dan.

Dear Dianne, Duane and Dean,
So sorry we were unable to make connection when in Longmont. Bill, and each of you, blessed us and the CC community during your "brief" time in McPherson! We pray God's comfort during these days of adjustment!
Tom and Bettie G.

The Martin family is truly amazing and that is such a testament to Bill. We have been blessed to have Duane and his family in our lives for nearly twenty years. Our thoughts are with you all. May the hatches in Heaven be plentiful. Dave and Janay Carlson

Dianne: I am thinking about you and you family during this difficult transition time. Remember all of the wonderful times you had with Bill and your family. I am sure you must have many. Linda Siderius

Thank you Bill for everything you thought me while employed at BMC, I still have the Ross GR-1 reels that you gave me oh so many years ago, and they are the first ones I grab when I get the opportunity to "wet a line" My sympathies to your family!
