We are so deeply sorry for your loss.
It was truly an honor to meet Marty during his time in physical therapy. He brought such strength, determination, and warmth to every session. Even on the difficult days, his resilience and spirit left a lasting impression on all of us.
Please know that he was more than just a patient -he was a valued and cherished part of our therapy family. We will remember his smile, his perseverance, and the trust he placed in us.
During this incredibly difficult time, I hope you find comfort in the love that surrounds you and in the many meaningful memories you shared. Our hearts are with you and your family.
With deepest sympathy,
Jori & The Wheeling Athletico Physical Therapy Family

I came to know Marty while I worked at Keller Mfg. He was a very kind man. Once he purchased a gift for us and delivered it to the hospital in Chicago to an employee whose son was having serious surgery. Prayers for all his family and friends

Marty was a salesman friend with Keller and was always good for conversation and advice. He had worked with my father before me so we had that unique bond. However, I was a Jayhawk and like my Dad, Marty was a Missouri Tiger. That fueled some competitive conversations.
It´s hard to believe Marty was 87, I hadn´t been around him for more than 25 years so in my minds eye he´s still a young man. He will always be someone I enjoyed knowing. RIP Marty. Rock Chalk!
