Marty was a kind, beautiful soul and I recall the shock and sadness that I felt in hearing of his passing. He was earnest in his athletic endeavors and a really serious competitor. He adored his mom.

Marty was a wrestler I think, though I only knew him through friends in high school, he had the biggest biceps and was rather shy.

I did not know Marty well, but recall that he was kind, soft spoken, and incredibly strong!
