I only met Martin a couple of times but I had a sense that he really cared for those around him. He was always there to support those in need.
Hopefully it is his time for his needs and wants to be met.

Rest In Peace

Wacky, you made the ford plant funny and a little more bearable. You were a peaceful and helpful person and had many friends. You went to heaven way before your time and you will be missed. Keith Uram, Schererville, In.

I'll miss you.

I never got to know Martin's family, but Martin was a very close friend of mine for a while. His humor, and laugh could make anyone's day better. I really loved Martin, and I hope he is up there watching over all of us. My prayers go out to his family, I am so sorry for you loss.

To all the O'Connor Family,
We were shocked and saddened to hear that Martin had passed. We all go back a long way, and have many fond memories of Martin, Kelly, and our own three small children as they were growing up. He was such a beautiful child, with the biggest bluest eyes, and a smile that would light up his whole face. After he had grown, and started working at Ford, he and Rich often ran into each other. I often heard Rich remark that Martin was such a nice young man. There are no words to completely express our Family's condolences to all of you who loved him best. May the Lord send His holy band of Angels to embrace you during this time of grief, and may we all meet Martin again...on the flip side.
