Marty was definitely one ,of a kind. When you thought of him, there were the cars. The blue Monte Carlo, the red Corvette. I went for a ride with him in the ‘Vette’ one day, he hit second gear and we went into a spin. I was hanging on and he was laughing, that was Marty! He was a golfer, a bowler, a fisherman, but the thing he was to all of us, was our friend. You will be missed, my friend.
Mich, you have my deepest, heart felt condolences. I know how much you loved your brother and i am so sorry for your loss.

Marty was a great guy and friend. My sincerest condolences to Kay and Mich.
We are all going to miss Marty’s smile and since of humor. I am so sorry for your loss! Please accept my condolences.
I’m sad to hear of the news. Marty was a contributing factor for my love of cars. I remember in High School Marty said he was going to have a corvette and knew exactly what it was going to be. Well he followed through. Thank you Marty for your knowledge you gave me and the memories. You will be missed
I just heard of Marty’s passing. He was my boyfriend from 1978 until early 1980s. His mom and I used to run into each other all the time. He loved his cars especially corvette.
