    Denine and Family, please accept our deepest condolences for the loss of Marty. You and your whole family are in our thoughts. We didn’t know Marty had been sick so this was a shock when we heard. As I am sure it was a shock to many of his friends. Marty and I were best of friends back in high school and throughout our young lives. There are so many memories and good times we had together that I will cherish for the rest of my days.
    Marty my dear friend, may you rest in peace and thank you for all the great memories.

    Denine – Our deepest condolences to you and the family. I wasn’t aware that Marty had been ill and his passing was very much a shock and difficult to comprehend. He was practically a lifelong friend and there are so many great memories. Even though “life” made getting together sporadic in the later years, when we did it was like no time had really gone by. I’ll miss him very much.

    Denine & Family
    We’re so sorry for your loss. Some of our favorite camp memories are sitting around the campfire with Marty.
    He will be missed.

  • Bruce and Deb Byers Posted July 31, 2024 4:22 pm

    We got word of Marty’s passing and just so sorry to hear this. I can still hear his infectious laughter as we enjoyed our time together. This took me instantly back to “the boys of summer” hanging out at his grandmas “farm”. Not care in the world listening to BTO on his Camaro stereo. It was a great time to be young and I feel privileged to have spent that time with Marty.
