I have known Marty since we were small children. I knew his whole family. We all attended the same church, lived in the same neighborhood and our parents frequently got together for card playing. Loved them all.
Marty was one of the finest guys I ever knew. He never was ever disrespectful to me or anyone I knew. He was funny and made me laugh all the time. A class act to be sure and I wish there were more people like him. If there were, the world would be a much better place. Rest easy in heaven my friend, and I look forward to seeing you again!
