 Marty had a great command of American and world history, and aspired to be a history teacher, but world events changed his path in life. He also loved to listen to classic country music artists such as Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Marty Robbins, Eddy Arnold, and Hank Williams to name a few. 

Our hearts ache with his passing and he will dwell in our heart, mind, and soul forever.
