Farewell old friend. We had lots of laughs. See you on the other side!

January 8, 2013

We go back a long way being friends with Marty, to know he is no longer with us is so sad.
Whenever you were with Marty he either had a good joke or a funny story, told in his unique “style”. You always left laughing or with a smile.

Our sincere condolences go out to Diane and his family.

Sincerely,
Joe & Marsha Brown

It was with great sadness that I learned of Marty passing. Many of my fondest memories were generated during my times with him – his smile, humor and joy permeated much of my early life. There were so many hours where John, Al, Marty and I spent more time laughing than studying or accomplishing anything ‘meaningful' – but really, it was the laughter that was meaningful. I don't remember many classes or assignments, but I will ALWAYS REMEMBER MY TIMES WITH MARTY!
I have lost a good friend!

Sadly, Paul Elliott
