Absolutely one of the most joyful and uplifting men I have ever known. He was a teacher and a mentor. I will miss you Marty. I am better for having known you. You left the world a better place than you found it.

Marty never met a stranger, would always briefly take the time to speak to you just to see how you were doing. Hard working and dedicated to his job. Took his job serious and enjoyed teaching others in their task. He will truly be missed by us maintainers. May our fond memories of working together keep us reminded of the great guy he was. Too many of our brothers and sisters are being lost to that horrible disease. You're in a better place now brother.
