I am so sorry to learn just now of Marty's passing last year. To say he was amazing is an understatement. I have missed him and his great wisdom a lot over these past few years as I cared for my husband who was ill and also passed almost exactly a year after Marty. I want to send all of my love and support to his family.
With sincerest sympathy,
Jean Des Roches

To Marty I pray I can be like you someday " Reynah"

Hi, my name is Hadassah Chavivah Zeltzer and I was a client of Marty's at SCORE for over 15 years. Marty believed in me when I was just an up and coming singer with a vision for a brand to support others through spirituality and motivation. He was a wonderful man and believed in me when and gave me my best friend and also a great connection for my business. He will be missed and remembered for all his support and generosity. May his name always be a blessing to his family.

Marty was my mentor for quite a few years. His belief in me was a tremendous source of strength until he got too ill to continue seeing me. I lost touch and have just discovered that he died one year ago. I send love to his family, whom he loved dearly. I know that his memory is a blessing to you, as it is to me.
