Joseph Martin Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born in Schenectady on November 22, 1951, Joe was a 1969 graduate of Scotia-Glenville High School. He spent more than 30 years serving his community as a rural postal carrier in the Scotia/Glenville area. After retiring, he continued working as a taxi driver for the Electric City Taxi Company.
Joe was a natural when it came to cars-he could fix, fine-tune, and fiddle with just about any vehicle, his own or anyone else's. A true Chrysler man, he was always tinkering with his beloved '74 Imperial, though he had a special fondness for his '96 Cadillac Seville.
Joe had a unique way of looking at the world- but that was part of his charm. His unconventional thinking, sharp wit, and deep intelligence were just how he operated. Above all, Joe was a loyal friend, maintaining close relationships that stood the test of time.
In addition to his parents, Joe was predeceased by a brother, Robert Martin.
Joe is survived by his sisters, Mary Martin and Alice (Christopher) Sparks; dear and loyal friends, Lisa Sarnacki and Chet Boniewski; and several nieces and nephews.
Graveside services will be held in the Pollak Family Plot on Thursday, July 31st at 11 am at Cyrils & Method Cemetery.
