My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Marty. He was a great man. He and my brother were friends for a long time. I have many memories. May God give up strength during this difficult time.

I will always remember my uncle as someone who brought so much joy into every room he entered. He was fun-loving, silly, and had a way of making everyone around him laugh, no matter the moment. Some of my favorite memories are the 4th of July picnics and our Thanksgiving dinners, where his spirit and humor made those times unforgettable.
He wasn’t just family—he was a source of happiness, warmth, and laughter that I will carry with me forever. Though he is no longer with us, the memories he gave us will never fade.
May you rest in peace. You will always be deeply missed and forever loved.

I use to babysit for you two when you were very young when you lived in Newark. Your mom and dad were so proud of their family. I remember how well dressed your family always was, even at the community pool. I will keep your family in my prayers. May Marty rest in peace.
