Marty was a true inspiration to all. Marty taught many of us how to be a great bowler, but he most importantly taught us how to be a greater person. Had a ton of great times & laughs with Marty. Marty meant a lot to all of us in the bowling community, and he will be missed greatly. Thanks for the great times Marty.
Our condolences to the Charlotte & the whole Bush Family

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We have so many wonderful memories of Marty! We will miss him dearly, his smile, his laugh, his presence every week bowling, his bowling coaching and wisdom to help Tracey bowl better!(didnt happen Marty, I will try better, I promise) and those golf days in the sun and just having a chat. He was a wonderful man and we loved him dearly.

*hugs* I'm so sorry Charlotte. I remember you talking about him for the first time when we worked together at Public Works. You were so proud of him and his accomplishments. Then when I moved to Health Canada, lo and behold - there was Marty! Marty taught me everything I know about SAP and contracts. He was always there to answer questions, patient and a great listener. I miss him greatly and my prayers are with you and your family.

So sorry to hear that Marty passed. He was such a kind and gentle man. He will definitely be missed by many. He was such a pleasure to talk to while sitting by the neighbours fire and at Christmas during the neighbour get together. He is in a better place now and free from all sickness.

Marty and Family,
since I met you, you have and always will be my brother. You left us too soon but are now in a better place. Your pleasant demeanor and incredible wit and character will live on in all of us. We enjoyed golf together and I envied your smooth swing. We loved our Eskies, even as they struggled. I will miss your humourous "greetings" and your warmth. You will always be on my mind. We are excited for you to see Garth and get caught up. Enjoy many fairways, greens and birdies.
To Char, Leslie, Victoria, Les & Emma - Marty's love will always surround us all. I am better having known him.
Love you my brother. Peace.

When we are children our parents teach us that the frighting noise we hear when the rain is pouring down is just the angels bowling, well I guess the good lord decided that they needed a coach, so he took Marty. Not only did the angels get a great bowler, they got a wonderful human being. Marty was easy going, quick to laugh and encouraged many a bowler(youth or otherwise) to give it their best shot. Marty will be missed by many for a very long time. My heartfelt sympathies to you Charlotte and the rest of the family.
