You held on through one hell of a ride. Goodbye Old Friend.
What!!! Oh Linda, I am so sorry to see Marty here. 49 years! I am happy I saw you two a few years ago.
Grampy you were the most caring and kindest man. You accepted me as a part of your family and loved Ava like your very own. We will miss your fresh breads and fabulous hugs. It was always so nice to visit with you and Grammy at Scott’s and Ashley’s.
My heart felt condolences to the family. My thoughts are with you all.

Those of us who knew Marty. Knew that he was selfless, always devoted to helping others , his friends and family. A stubborn, determined beautiful man with a heart of gold. His loving energy would fill the room and his witty slightly cocky humour would always get everyone’s attention.
I feel honoured to be able to call him my friend, and to have spent the time I did with him. Those memories I will always Cherish.
He taught me many things and I will always be grateful for those lessons.
He always treated me and my family with care and love. Always left me with a warm feeling of appreciation. He was the guy that thought he could handle any situation and fix any problem. And when he couldn’t he would still try and push things until he achieved the impossible.
Truly a remarkable man that will be very missed by myself, my daughter and his friends.
Our condolences, Linda. Marty was such a great man. One of a kind and always thoughtful. So sorry we can’t be with you at this difficult time but our thoughts and love are with you.
I only met Marty a handful of times but his daughter Cassie and her children are special to me . He must have been a remarkable man to have left such a beautiful legacy as them . My sincere condolences to all who loved him.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m grateful to have known Marty, if even for a short time. He was always so positive even through his struggles.
I will always remember ‘Uncle’ Marty as the most amazing soul. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. Laura wishes you her best and hopes he is now in a better place.
Roger and I were so privileged to have known Marty. We will truly miss him and his beautiful optimistic view of life. He will always be in our hearts.
Marty was one of a kind, with a heart as big as anyone I know. Our sincere condolences to Linda and family, he’ll be deeply missed by many. Love Peter and Theresa Kelly, and family.
