It was fun growing up with Marty-rollerskating, whoop de dos in the Subaru, driving to Beach Boys concerts in the back of a pickup truck-I will treasure the times I spent with all of you
I am so sadden to hear of Marty’s passing. We met at our work place SEARS, we had so many good times there, sharing food recipes and treats that we made with each other. We often talked about opening a little eatery together. He had the biggest heart and smile. such a good spirit. He will truly be missed. Sending healing prayers and comfort to his family.
Marty was my IT mentor and friend when we worked together at Ocean Township. I would not be who I am or where I am because of his kindness, his patience, and his guidance. He was as funny as he was intelligent and always appreciated a good laugh, even if it was at his own expense. He embodied being a calm professional in an industry that can prove to be a bit hectic at times. He was a proud husband, step-father, son, and generally great person.
Thank you for everything Marty.
So very sorry to hear of Martys passing. He was a neighbor for many years and an all around nice guy. Condolences to his mother Betty and the rest of his family. May he RIP🙏🏻
School mates and boy scouts, rest in peace.
Mrs. P, I just found out. I’m so sorry. Marty was my best friend. Flying, building, shooting bottles at the creek, we did it all. My friend from 3rd grade on. I never met Tracy or Haley, but I feel like I know them. Marty was so proud of them.
