I was very saddened to hear of Martin's passing. We did not see him very often, but I remember his singing and piano playing and his amaziing musical repertoire - and I have fond memories of Martin and Martha visiting us in NYC many, many years ago, when the three of us crashed a wedding!!! Stanley joins me in extending our deepest sympathy to you all.

Marty was so gracious, kind, and helpful to me when I began my law practice and got to know him through the Family Law Section of The Missouri Bar. He gave so much of himself to young attorneys throughout the state. My wife and I will miss him. His memory will be with me always.

We love you, Martin. We could not have asked for a more loving, caring neighbor when we moved to Glendale 10 years ago this January. You have impacted both Bill and my life. You will always be in our hearts. Between you and I, I will miss meeting up with you in the middle of the street when I take out the trash.
