Met Martin when I went to work at a local company in Ennis Co Clare Martin where Martin was manager - he was always such fun, so nice and had a very happy outlook in life. We became friends and he also knew my parents well through the set dancing - they were regulars in Quilty. Later on Martin and Marion were guests at our wedding in Ennis Co Clare Ireland and we also met again in the USA in later years. Martin always had a very positive outlook and was his own man. So sorry to hear of his passing. Condolences to his Family and extended Families. Rest in Peace Martin.
