It’s hard to believe that Marty is no longer with us on earth; but he will remain with us, in our hearts forever. Rest in peace my dear, funny, lovable brother-in-law XXX

You will foreva be missed. I will cherish my uncles pool stick, that you fixed for me few months ago. I will remember you fondly.

I remember him coming into speedway. He was always friendly. He sure loved his four lokos. My prayers are with his family.

Though we only knew him for a short time, we have great memories of him forever in our hearts and minds! Our condolences to all his friends and family.

Sincerely his friends from Canada,
Tina, Janice & Bob

I am so sorry for your loss. May God give you peace. Love, Aunt Judy

Marty, we miss you so, so much. You were a gentle ‘giant’, you & I had so many great, nice and funny conversations. Michael is taking this very hard. Ian, well, you are his first ‘family’ to pass and he hurts so much, especially for Alex and Gwen. He is trying to understand, why. Joshua is in shock, he was looking forward to seeing you and being there with a positive outlook. We are there for Gwen and Alex. I drive by your house twice a day, to work and on the way home, just to make sure everything is ok. Love you with all our hearts. It physically hurts, life will not be the same without you, sir.

My heart is breaking for you and Gwendolen.
I am Selfishly broken of your passing.
Never understood why you totally had my back.
Gwendolen knows this.
For this, I love you both forever.
Love Elizabeth & Jones.

Was such a good caring friend. you will always be in my thoughts rest in peace buddy…

Forever missing and thinking of you Dad, there will never be a single day that passes without thinking of you and missing you with everything I am.

I knew Marty and Michele way back when—Marty and I worked together as servers at Cucos Mexican Restaurant in Jacksonville FL and then were both promoted into management around the same time. Marty was my closest friend for a few years during that time, and I spent a lot of time with him and Michele, and was around when Jake was born (not sure if he still goes by that name).
We lost touch sometime around early 90s when they moved away from Jax, and the Internet was not yet a thing. Over the years, after the Internet became a thing, I did some searches for Marty and Michele now and then, wondering where they had landed. I tried to make contact a couple times but was never successful.
Now I did a Google search a few days ago and found this obituary. I’m so sorry to his kids for their loss. Marty was a great guy and a great friend, and Michele as well.
If any of his kids end up reading this, or their mom, I just want to say that he was memorable, and was a good friend.
