Dear Martha and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of Marty's passing. I have so many fond memories of him at the Wesleyan Potters, helping out whenever he could. Just one example is the many years we counted on him to help behind the jewelry counter at the Annual Sale.

When your father set up the Mildred Weiner fund at the Pottery, he expressed how much he loved your mother and at the same time gave a gift that continues to benefit the countless artists that learn new skills in a Mildred Weiner workshop every year.

Marty was a very special person, who was very generous to the Wesleyan Potters and to me. I will always remember him fondly. He is a great example of how one person can give back to his community and change the world for the better.

With great sympathy,

Shirley & Andy Rastallis

Dear Martha and Family,

Andy and I have wonderful memories of Marty. We enjoyed years of competitive tennis at R.H.T.C. with stimulating conversation afterwards over coffee. We did visit Marty at the assisted living facility but unfortunately always seemed to pick a dialysis day.

Sincerely, Andy and Shirley Rastallis
