Martin was a cool dude. That solemn exterior with a rock and roll heart!! He was a sweetheart if you ever got to know him. His little heaven showed up in the body of a Boston Terrier. He was a hardworking man that was much appreciated at Lawson's plumbing for many many years. Go in with crazy looking part and he could fix you right up in seconds flat. I enjoyed our conversations and observations about life in general. He carried that same sweet self every time you saw him. Gonna miss that fellar!! My heart goes out to Debbie for they were two of a kind. What a great pair!!
