Born and raised in Lancaster County, Martin was a 1954 J.P. McCaskey graduate. Following graduation, Martin enlisted in the U.S. Army as a Photo Laboratory Specialist and served his country for almost 2 years.

Marty was a devout catholic and member of St. John Neumann Catholic Church. He served over 40 years in the Charismatic Renewal movement and was a chairman of the Reunion Committee. Martin and Bernice traveled the world, went on many camping trips with family, was an avid photographer, and had a passion for model trains along with his son Richard and grandsons Martin and Jonathan. The White household was known for their train yard display, and this year would have been Martin’s 75th model train show.
