We've had the pleasure of getting to know Marty and Teena as neighbors over the past few years. True character is revealed in a person's actions, and Marty set the standard. Always a smile a kind word, and always giving to others. His greatest joy was family. A truly inspiring man. God bless you, Marty and Teena. The Livelys
