Marty and I grew up in the 300 block of Ross Street.  We went to elementary school, junior high and graduated from McCaskey in 1953.  He. And a few others in the heighborhood taught me to play football and baseball behind Ross St Methodist Church and basketball behind Martin’s garage.  They were good years.  My thoughts and my prayers are with his family and friends.  We will all miss him.
Sorry I cannot make the service in his memory on Monday.

Marty was a  sweet, very kind and jovial man.  I had the pleasure of his company many times at The Lancaster Elks # 134 and family events, most recently at my wedding.  He was a very good friend of my mothers as they went to school together.    I will miss his smile and laughter and friendship.  Rest in Peace my friend.  You will be missed!
