To all the Waltsak family - I just wanted you all to know how sorry I am to learn of Marty´s passing. He (and Leo and Tommy) attended Wall High School together - played on the basketball team together. Marty, Leo and I played freshman football at Manasquan High. Those of us that knew Marty share in your sorrow. My heart hurts with you.

We will miss his warm greetings, colorful comments and hearty laugh whenever and wherever our paths crossed. His smile memorable. His stories legendary. The next fish was always longer, heavier and the next deer always had an impressive rack, 4, 6 or was it 8 points. Rest easy Buddy. You will be remembered fondly for years to come.
