I remember "Marty" from our student days at RISD. He often came to my dorm with his banjo and we would sing together. Treasured times. What a beautiful man. My condolences to his family. (Maryann Raymond)

Shocked—just saw his name leading the Memoriam list at the Emmys. I knew Marty during our years at RISD. Enjoyed his frequent guitar gigs in the school Refectory, and was lucky to work with him on a few Take-A-Break weekend student productions. When he got his BFA, he and his housemates gifted me with an oil-crayon decorated US Navy practice bomb [empty casing, nothing lethal]. Honoring those days, and that legendary foursome of fun and creative dudes at "the Pit", I STILL HAVE IT—brought it with our household goods when we moved to L.A. in ’79. For years, I hoped to run into him at an alum event, so I could surprise him with it! Regrettably, that wasn't to be. Still, I hope he enjoyed fond memories of those student years—I sure do, in no small measure thanks to Marty; and (as a longtime fan) I'm grateful he was able to share his extraordinary creativity, humor, and kindness with the entertainment world at large.

Thank you for reaching me via my Toshiba portable b&w tv at the tender age of 16 on Fernwood 2 Night. I was just then discovering I could get away with watching late-night tv without my parents noticing, and having that experience coupled with watching a kind of humor I never knew existed on that show made a life-long impression on me that gave me a new way to look at the world that has never left me. Thank you <3

I was fortunate enough to meet and speak with Martin Mull at his art exhibit at the Figge Museum In Davenport, IA, in 2007. I'd seen him in many TV shows and movies. He was a very creative, original, productive artist. I will miss him.
