I knew Marty for about 45 years He was a Great Guy & Friend always had me laughing he use to tease me all the time. He would give u the shirt off his back & never asked for anything in return. I will always remember the Fun times at The Dover Nascar races. My thoughts & prayers 🙏 go out to the family and friends. R.I.P. MARTY TILL WE MEET AGAIN MY FRIEND

Marty and I had a lot of “History” together back in the 70s & 80s. We called it the good old days because we weren’t good or old. “Cannon” was someone I could always count on if I needed anything.
You had a good run my fiend. You will be missed. My heart goes out to Linda and Marty’s extended family.

Buddy you will surely be well missed! You could always tell the best stories, give a helping hand, bust stones with the best of them and take it too. Say hello to your old Richmond roommate Dave, Gary and Ron.
Until we all see each other again. Harry

It’s hard to believe Martys no longer with us. I know you’ll miss him forever as will I. Marty was one of a kind and I mean one of a kind. I remember all the good times we had, whatever we did together we had fun doing it. Even if it was a screwed-up basement or a hot as heck attic. So sorry I couldn’t make the service, but Marty would understand so stay strong and I’ll see ya in late summer. Your buddy Hillbilly
