Martin Ostrowski

Shutesbury, MA — Martin B. Ostrowski, born September 26, 1947, passed away peacefully at the age of 74 years old on June 6th at his home. Although he was originally born and raised on a farm in South Deerfield, he spent most of his life on Lake Wyola in Shutesbury. He spent his life as a carpenter. His greatest accomplishment was slowly building his dream home until the day he died. He used to say "a carpenter's house is never done until after they die". He held true to the saying. Some people knew him as Marty "Crazywolf" Ostrowski.

Around Lake Wyola, he was known to drive his tractor around helping any neighbor who needed it. If he wasn't riding the tractor, he was riding lawn mower, and always waving hello.

Marty surrounded his life with motorcycles and music. He cherished his Triumph bikes more than anything. The dream in the last few years was one last ride with a sidecar. Every year, he made sure to attend the Green River Music Festival and supported his musical friends and local music community.

He reunites with his love, Kathleen A. O'Connor, and dearest friend, Jeff Martell. He leaves behind his son, Kyle J. Ostrowski, and stepdaughter, Colleen M. Glidden. He will be greatly missed by all. The lake already misses Marty waving from his tractor. There will be a celebration of life at the end of July. As details become finalized, his family will make them known.
