Dear Ruth,
We were so sorry to hear about Marty. Please accept our deepest sympathy to you and your family. We'll always remember Marty's smiling face whenever we saw him at the Warwick.

I knew Mutsie for many years and have the fondest memories of being with him. We spent a great vacation a long time ago when we were both young fellows in the Army, me in France and Mutsie in Germany. We met halfway and went by train to the French Riveria where we cleaned up at Monte Carlo (in our dreams) over the crap table.

Mutsie was a nice guy and will always live on in my memory.
