Sorry for the loss of this man. I know Helen Ann and knew Elmer and Rose, he seems to be gone way too young, proof that life on this earth is fleeting, may we be encouraged by the life he led and the living legacy he left behind in his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

One of the greatest gift's that i have ever received comes from my Uncle Mart who taught me about responsibility not just about paying your bill's but were you live if you are living in someone else's home it is there way and rule's or you need to pay for your on home and live as you see fit but do not ever expect for some one who put's you up to accommodate your ways in there home that is the way it should be as well as in are country

I am the firstborn of Martin Henry Rohr (such a name) and the beautiful Elaine Frances Beltran (an equally beautiful name. NO ONE will every be so privileged. NO ONE will ever know the wonder of being the first fruit of their love. I will persist. I will endure. I will conquer...everything. Because of what they have given me. I can only hope to be what they were and still are.

Uncle Mart showered me with his love and great humor! We will always remember the Rohr Runner bus he drove to Ohio in one summer! Cant name the year, but you cousins know what a blast it was! Love you all and praying for God's comfort!

I will miss him dearly! He was a great friend to my dad and our family! He was a wonderful person, always there for you. I know if I needed anything, all I had to do was ask. He treated me just like one of his daughters! I will truly treasure my memories! Never forget he was there for my dad when my mother passed. He came and supported my dad and our family in our time of need! Rest in peace, Marty! Go be with God and all his Angels! Love you! My deepest sympathy and prayers to all of the family.
Love, Andrea

My Uncle Mart was a wonderful mentor to me and my 9 brothers and sisters. He was a man marinated in integrity. I thought the world of him and even named one of my children after him. He had such beautiful and kind eyes. I will miss him very much. I will keep Aunt Elaine and all of her children (my cousins) in my prayers at this difficult time. Peace, love and prayers are sent to all of you.
