In fond memory of the sweetest man that ever lived. He was kind, generous, patient and tolerant of others. Thank you Marty for being such a good friend. We will miss your friendly wave from across the street, and the kind words spoken to all you encountered. God bless you and may you rest in peace with our heavenly Father and your lovely bride, Ann.
