8 years Marty....8 long years full of good memories since you´ve been gone. Doesn´t seem possible. The pain of your passing never gets any less intense, I guess we just figure out how to cope a little better as time goes by. Not easy to do, you left an indelible mark on everyone you touched. We had almost 50 years as friends, much too little time with you. You are always thought of, not just on this day, but every day. Rest easy buddy.

Can it possibly be five years already? No matter the years, it seems like a lifetime. Your presence is felt today as it was when you were still here, with great memories of great times. Nothing changes the void of your absence, but nothing diminishes the mark you made while you were with us. Nothing will ever erase the memories of our friendship. Rest easy Marty.

Another year has passed since you left this life, another year of questions without answers for many of us. There is hardly a day that goes by without something that reminds me of you, a job we did together, or something you helped me with at the house. There are constant reminders of the time we spent together and that is a lasting and welcome tribute to our friendship and especially your memory. Rest well Marty.

Hard to believe it’s been three years already that you were taken from Debbie and all of us. The passing of time does not make this any easier, somehow I just try to figure out ways to cope better. I’ve often thought of how the last three years would have been different were I able to spend part of that time with you, all I can say for sure is that they would have been better. That much I am certain of. You will always remain a true friend, you will always be missed. Rest easy Marty.

It's been two years since my friend Marty left us all. I cannot find the words to describe the void he has left in my life by his passing. We worked together, we socialized, we were friends for 45 years. There is no way to overcome the loss, and the only way to cope is to remember all the good times we shared in those 45 years, and there were many. There is not a day that goes by that you are not still a part of my life. I miss you my friend, rest easy.
