I'm so very sorry to hear of Martin's passing. He was charismatic, robust, and a joy to be around. He loved life and all the challenges that went with it. One of the best bosses I've ever had and there for you when you needed him. My thoughts and prayers are with you Bonnie and also with Scott and Mark. God Speed.

Martin MacQueen was the most genuine man I have ever known.
He was always so good to me and my family.
Martin loved his country and his friends and family.
He loved a good cigar. A fine bottle of scotch. His dogs!
He loved a good book and he told a great story.
But the thing I am most grateful for, is that he loved my Aunt Bonnie and she was able to share their life together with my family.
