My sympathy and prayers for Patsy, Sue, and the family. Marty exemplified civic duty in his service to the Fire Company, his long effort to have the Veterans Memorial built at the Municipal Park, and his long involvement in Township public meetings. He served his country, and then came home to serve his family and the community he cared about. RIP.
