Martin was a man with many stories to tell. He had a zest for life and doing things his way. There was always a lesson in those stories and countless laughs shared. His motto was "some people will like me, some will hate me, but no one will ever forget me." He will be dearly missed by the countless people whose lives he was part of.
His family would like to continue his legacy of love and asks that donations be made to the Charity of your choice in lieu of flowers.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later time.
