Martin James Dluzansky

My words can not come close to the sadness I feel for the loss of such a wonderful human being . To Kari and addy and Alden and family my heart goes out to all of you . I remember the day I first met Martin and kari as they walked into my fitness studio curious about what we had to offer. It was such a pleasure to have them join us in group classes and personal training. I remember thinking often about what a nice couple Martin and Kari were to each other and everyone they encountered what a great live and friendship they shared . Martin was so kind and witty as while we were in class he would make us laugh with what I call " martin isms" he always made my job completely enjoyable as he reminded me of how much I helped him . His spirit was so kind and funny and always had something of value to add to any conversation. I will miss him as so many others will . My prayers to the whole family that they will find some comfort in this difficult time . Rest in great peace Martin

Oh, Martin. I just wanted to talk with you a few weeks ago, without knowing any of this. You were the best manager I have ever had, with several guidance given by you which I still remember. Very important guidance how to manage my career and life. You hired me at Bose and helped me hired at another company. You invited us over to your family house, and you came to visit our house with your family. You appreciated my crazy sense of humor and what I have accomplished. Professionally and personally, I am not here as I am now without you. I guess last time we met was at a restaurant, and never again. I really wish your resting in good peace, and deepest sympathy to his loving family. Thank you, Martin.

Martin, you had a rare and special gift - the ability to make everything around you brighter and happier. Whether it was a simple conversation, a team gathering, a challenging project, or the people around you - your humor, joy, kindness, and deep empathy brought out the best in people.

One of the things that made you so special was how you could be both inspirational and grounding at the same time - your enthusiasm and talent a catalyst for great ideas and creativity, your compassion a comfort and steadying force to those around you when the going got tough, reminding us we weren´t facing challenges alone.

You were passionate about so many interesting things - from all things French to craft cocktails - but nothing captured your heart more than your family. I loved watching your face light up every time you talked about Kari, your children, and becoming a granddad to Porter. You could see how proud you were, how your heart was full. It was one of the things I treasured about our friendship - hearing your stories about the people you loved most.

I am so grateful that we became colleagues and more importantly, friends. You were an incredible thought partner and I enjoyed our camaraderie. Your friendship meant the world to me, and I miss you dearly. It is a gift I will cherish forever, and I'll carry your warmth and joy with me.

Love, Gitti

I'm so sad to hear this - I worked with Martin at Bose and he was an absolute joy to work with. Funny, capable, trusting, motivational - just a really great leader and an absolutely lovely person. I've been noodling over a lot of my memories with him and I'm not kidding, it feels like 90% of them we are laughing hysterically together. I shared a lot of these stories with my family this weekend.

I know there's no real solace to be had here, but I hope his family takes some peace in how many people he had an impact on, and how beloved he was. RIP Martin, I hope to giggle again with you in the next place someday!

SGA is deeply saddened by Martin´s unexpected passing. He was a beautiful and kind soul and a wonderful colleague. His memory will forever be a blessing to all of us.

On this day, July 14,1989 I met Martin and we shared an extraordinary life together. He was my whole heart and soul. I am not sure how we will go on without him.

Martin was a very special person. We worked together for nearly 20 years, an there was nobody more passionate, creative, or dedicated to professional excellence. His professional competence was matched by an amazingly sharp wit. He was one of those rare high achievers who also brought out the best in those around him. My deepest sympathies go out to Martin's family.

Our heartfelt condolences to the entire family for the loss of your loved one. Martin was a beautiful human being who always showed up with a smile! He will always be in our thoughts. Love to all - John and Alena Vislocky.

We are heartbroken and absolutely devastated. Sending our deepest condolences to Kari and the entire Dluzansky family.

He and I met at Bose and formed our friendship as we undertook the challenge of planning & executing the Automotive Divisions participation at CES....one year earlier than Martin had planned and .....with only 4-months to execute. Together with Ramie Friedman and many others, Martin jumped in with his very creative mindset and delivered an exceptional customer experience that set the bar for future years and events.

Martin was a very kind man with extreme passion. The following pictures are celebrating some of his passions - art, craft cocktails, and creating amazing marketing content and events.

RIP our dear friend.

John, Rene, Michael, & Matthew Moloney

I worked with Martin at Bose. He always made me laugh. His creativity, energy and enthusiasm set him apart. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

I was fortunate to have crossed paths with Martin at Bose. His warmth and spirit will be missed. My thoughts are with his family and closest friends in hoping they can reflect on their favorite memories and support one another through this time.

I was lucky to have chance working closely with Martin and learn from his coach and inspired by his innovative sparks. Still remember the time at the Automotive new product line workshop and CES show where Martin leads the team to pursue high bar of brand building and product design. He´s a mentor at all time to me! Thank you and RIP.

Rest easy friend. Thank you for our friendship and conversations. I am getting those fun shoes you recommended and will wear with pride and a sense of humor.

It´s hard to find the right words when someone as unique and special as Martin leaves this world. He brought a rare kind of light to every space..bright, curious, and completely his own.

I had the joy of working with Martin at LXE, and he made showing up to work better. Whenever I saw we had a meeting together, I looked forward to it. His presence always brought warmth, insight, creativity, and a bit of much-needed humor.

One of my favorite memories is from a work trip when the team came to Denver, where I live. We explored the city, took a graffiti tour, and visited so many amazing restaurants and cocktail bars. But the night that stands out most was dancing with Martin and the team at Red Rocks..wearing light-up cowboy hats and dancing under the stars with our coworkers, our friends.. It was pure joy!

Martin was kind in the most genuine way. Thoughtful, empathetic, and truly present. He made people feel heard, seen, and understood- a rare and beautiful gift. He reminded me what it means to live authentically with heart, humor, and imagination.

My heart is heavy for his family, whom he spoke of often and with such deep love. We bonded many times over our little ones (his grandson and my son are close in age) and it was always clear how much he cherished them.

Cheers to Martin - thank you for all the light you brought. May we all strive to live with even a fraction of the kindness, curiosity, and soul you carried so effortlessly.

With love and gratitude,
Pearl Toboika

I had the privilege of getting to know Martin early in his professional career in New York in the late 1980´s early 1990´s when he joined me at the New Zealand Consulate General as a Marketing Officer. While I knew somethings about exporting NZ goods and services to the US, Martin knew EVERYTHING about marketing. We made a great team and quickly became good friends.

Martin was an excellent communicator and we always kept in touch and I looked forward to his annual New Years letter. He visited me in Geneva a few years ago - when he made an actually made Swiss watch!!

The last time we were in touch we talk about the joys of becoming grandfathers.

Rest in peace dear friend and deepest condolences to Kari and family.

Much love James Griffiths

Martin was a great co-worker and friend. We both started in the Bose Automotive Division on the same day. Martin had already worked at Bose for 4 years but had transitioned to Automotive when I joined the company. We enjoyed working together for 8 years. When I moved to Europe with my family we had the privilege of hosting Martin, Kari, Addie and Alden for their family trip to France. Martin and I shared our love for France. We also had the chance to be on some amazing work trips like this photo of us in Japan. Martin you are missed! I will hold onto the wonderful memories of our friendship.

Martin was a deeply creative and inspiring person, who I am proud to have worked with. His pursuit of excellence and creating extraordinary experiences, all while having fun, was truly amazing. I'm so saddened by the news of his passing and extend my sincerest condolences to his family for your loss.

I´ll never forget some of the early times I became friends with Addie meeting with Martin. One of the funniest moments is when we made him be Addie and I´s chauffeur after we had one too many margaritas in Westborough, MA during our summer college break. Or the joy and laughter of watching him enjoy a glass of wine at Primanti Brothers in State College, PA. More recently the pure joy I got to experience the day we chose Addie´s wedding dress - Martin met us with open arms, excitement and of course some Mumm champagne to celebrate the dress purchase. His kindness, his candor, his joy and the iconic instagrams and his comments on my instagrams will so forever be missed.

It was my great privilege to know such a wonderful person as Martin. Thanks to our wives´ generosity, we got to travel as a duo and I will treasure those experiences forever. Whether he was commiserating in French with a bartender in Geneva or guiding us from one end of Manhattan to the other, he was elegance in motion. An irreplaceable loss. My deepest condolences to Kari, Addie, and Alden.

On behalf of the many people that Martin worked with and touched in the Bose Automotive community, I offer our deepest condolences to the family. Martin meant a lot to the Bose community.

To Martin's loved ones: There is no substitute for the experience of meeting someone who is right in front of me. I quickly met Martin in person in Pretoria and exchanged names and smiles. I am so very sorry for your loss.

My deepest condolences to the Dluzansky family for this loss. Martin was an incredible colleague at Bose. His passion, creativity and commitment to the task at hand left an indelible mark on everyone who worked with him. May he rest in peace. Wishing his family peace and love during this difficult time.

Martin was one of the most memorable and quirky humans I have ever known. I had the privilege of spending time with him and working with him for a very short period, but he left a lasting impact.

Martin was an incredible force of nature, from the second we met and throughout every moment spent since, his curiosity, passion, and desire for the best possible outcome was constant. He was such a a rare, beautiful, and special human and he will be deeply missed.

Martin was always so kind to me. He was a bright, creative soul who loved his family fiercely. Sending love to his beautiful wife, children and grandson.

We miss you, Martin. So glad to have shared so many adventures with you.

I was honored to have worked alongside Martin at Bose. He helped to create so many wonderful moments in countless people´s lives. I´m grateful to have known him and learned from him. Wishing his family all the best

Martin
You are so incredibly missed. We are all so devastated. You were such an amazing person, a true renaissance man with so much knowledge, wit, personality and stories about life. Also the best at your profession and your ability to inspire others- whether friends, colleagues or customers. -From everyone at LXE Hearing. Below a great photo memory to share of our trip to Red Rocks together.

I worked with Martin at Bose. He had such a wonderful and open energy and kind and creative. I am so sorry for your loss.

Needless to say, I'm both devastated and thankful. Devastated, because, although Martin and I were very close friends who'd drifted apart over the years, we were just reconnecting and sharing in the joy of his grandson, with a plan to meet in the Media, PA area on one of his upcoming visits. Devastated because I know how much he meant to so many people, and how deeply he cared for his family, his hikes, his watches, his drinks, and professional colleagues, all of whom I know are still trying to process this untimely passing.

I'm thankful that the family was able to be present with Martin during this awful illness--so many don't get that chance. I'm very thankful that Martin lived the life he imagined and pursued his passions with gusto. He dreamed of traveling, yearned for adventures, and succeeded in finding a soul mate in Kari with whom he could share that life. Martin has given all of us the gift of his humor and his openness. I'll miss you, Marty.
