Leah - my heart goes out to you and Marty's sons. Such a tragic loss.

Marty was a wonderful person who brought his smile and sharp wit to every conversation. He had a wonderful way of seeing people and the world around him.

I will miss him dearly.

Leah and family, please accept my heartfelt sympathy at this sad time. Through my nineteen years at the Westbank WhiteSpot, I've enjoyed his quick wit and a smile that lit up the room! We will miss him immensely. White Spot has lost a very special man.

You were a great friend through the early years Marty. Many laughs and plenty of sarcasm...your trademark! Time is so short. Farewell my friend.

I am at a loss for words, but wish to pay my respects to the entire family on this profound loss. As a child & teenager when visiting with your family I only remember laughter and feeling a part of something good. It is my fondest memory as a child and I am grateful that I have those memories to cherish. God Bless you Martin, rest peacefully.
