Marty was one of the good guys. My deepest sympathy to Margie, Cathy, Patricia and Sean. You have a lot of great memories of Marty in his healthier days. He was a loving father, caring husband and compassionate friend to many.

Dear Marge (and Cathy, Patti, and Sean and families): Deepest sympathy on the passing of your dear husband (and father), Marty. Though we are barely more than acquaintances, Marge, the substantial presence of your many family members at Harbor Point makes you all "goodwill ambassadors" and instant friends to those who encounter you on even an infrequent basis in the elevator, hallway, or market. Marty will be very much missed by his friends at Harbor Point, and they mourn with you. We wish you only good memories, and the blessing of God's peace in the quiet times ahead. Many prayers, Marianne and Bruce Zolna #2608-09.
