A godly man who served the Lord faithfully and with a joyful heart. He loved young people and invested his life into helping them any way he could. He was family to our family and now he and Fred are coach in heaven together. He will be missed, but I know Fred was there to welcome him home. Love and miss you Dr. Martin.
