I was truly saddened to hear of Martin's passing. He was such a kind and generous man. Every time I came to the school to teach a class for OPI, Martin always took the time to visit with me. We would laugh and talk about the world of nails and more. He had a wonderful school and will so missed by many. My thoughts and prayers to his family and his family at Glen Dow Academy. You will be missed greatly.

Last night we lost an amazing man in the Beauty Industry. I'll never forget the first day we met, the classes we laughed and joked in, the hidden secret you kept from me when Dorthy from Oz showed up in his red glitter underwear and shoes to greet me dancing and doing summersaults throughout the school, the competitions we were in together, or your quirky way of instructing that led to the red rod joke of all time, and even grieving together while we watched our world change forever in class on 911. While you brought every t.v.downstairs so that we who had loved ones in NY could watch for our families. Mr. Martin I Love You to the moon and back! This is the man that I choose to remember. Not everyone understood you but God always showed me your heart and it was beautiful. I will forever miss you. Thank you for teaching me everything I know about Beauty, respecting and honoring your image in this industry, and being the best at what you do, loving it, and pleasing your clients to the best of your ability. Glen Dow Academy will not be the same without you my friend so today I honor you♡♡♡♡♡ see you on the other side my sweet friend~
