We are so sorry to learn that Marty is gone. Brenda was just here this week and gave us the sad news. It has been a long time and we miss being in touch with the Haikens. Lots of good memories of those Commodore days at KYC. He was one of the good guys. Marty even got Richard to stop smoking. We hope Lee, Matt and Sue are comforted by their many friends and the memories of all the good times with Marty. He is fondly remembered by us.
Love,

Don Royal

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead. Marty was a big part of my growing up and even though I hadn't seen him since 1964 and talked to him since 2006 he was frequently in my thoughts.
