Growing up in Medway, Marty was always a good friend, just as our older sisters and parents were. Our fathers (Leo and Arden) participated together in skeet shooting and other hobbies. Our mothers (Wendy and Terry) are both very talented artists and were active in the art community, shows etc. Our sisters (Kelly and Nadine) …I don’t know, they did yucky girl things :) I’m happy that our families remain closely connected.
 Marty and I did the usual kid stuff, bikes, hunting and occasionally getting into a little trouble. We played together in a local rock and roll band during high school.

 I’m so sorry Marty has departed way too soon. My heart aches for Wendy and Kelly.
 I have many good memories that have been on repeat play in my head this last week. We must hold on to and cherish such memories.

Marty was a good man and I’m glad his story overlapped with mine.
Love ya Brother.
