Bill, Carol, Tommy, Elizabeth and Grace,
Nicole and I were so saddened to learn of Marty´s passing. Whenever visiting New Milford from our home in Virginia, we make a point of driving through Sunny Valley and up Howe Road. You lived two houses away from us. I used to think your house was huge!. A few memories of the good old days - swimming in your backyard pool; watching the Flintstones in that lower-level room with Marty and you too, Lizzie; and of course, who could forget Limey, your family dog. Sean could not have summed it any better - your brother had a heart of gold. Your Mom and Dad are overjoyed to have him again by their side. God bless Marty, and all of you. Carol - a very special hello from Nicole!

Marty was a friend of my brother Kevin and me when we were growing up in Sunny Valley. He was always thoughtful and kind to us and to everyone. A heart of gold. Many condolences to Marty´s brothers and sisters and other family and friends.
