Marty was a good friend of mine for over 30 years, he had a heart of gold, we lost touch around 2008. Keep your friends close you never know when they will be gone…..I miss Marty and wish I would have kept in touch! RIP Marty!
I always thought of Marty as one of my sons. Sad to have lost touch and to hear of his passing last November.
Marty was a good friend of my dad’s and I have fond memories of him growing up. Last time I saw him was at my dad’s funeral. I am very sad to learn he has passed. He was a great guy. RIP Marty, wish I could have spoken to you as an adult and reminisced about the good old days with you and Faulk and my dad.
