Dear Uncle Marty,

Wherever you are, I know you're finally at rest! I am comforted to know that you'll be looking over the family. Rest assured that we all love you and are grateful to have known you. I will never forget the times you've spent telling me about the family geneology;a perfect proverb that says "Every time a person passes a library burns." Thanks for being a great uncle and a keeper of family history! From across the Atlantic, we are thinking of you.

Love your niece,

Karrie

I worked with Marty at Laclede when he worked noon to nine at Forest Park. He taught me a lot. I'm out of town at the time.
