Marty will be missed by many! My heart goes out to CheryI! I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Marty for several years at National City / PNC Bank. He was knowledgeable and a leader in his field of expertise. His love for animals was awesome and he spoke of his pets and family lovingly and often.

I am saddened to hear of Marty's passing. I had the honor of meeting Marty while working at National City. He impressed me with his knowledge of all those processes and practices around project management and IT in general. He was a pro. But what I really enjoyed was his wit, approachability and sense of humor. Yeah he was a little quirky; but charming, a real gentleman and extremely bright. A great role model. My deepest condolences to Cheryl and family. You will be in my prayers. It was indeed a pleasure knowing you my friend. May you rest in peace.

I was very sorry to hear of Marty passing away, I had met him in the early 70's thru my life long friend Phil. They had worked at NCB, We were also groomsmen in Phil"s wedding. For some reason I can still remember how we were trying to decide how to decorate the cars in the wedding. it" hard to believe that was 50 years ago. Phil has kept me informed about Marty and how they has taken guitar lessons , My sympathy goes out to his family. As Marty & I shared the same birth year, a person said to me once that tomorrow is promised to no one and we should live each day to the best of our ability. sincerely David L Bevington
My condolences to Mary's family. I have met Marty several years ago when he introduced me to one of the best and most useful volunteer organizations (CERT) in our town. We have spent many hours together, I loved his humor and way to listen. Marty, you will be missed.

I believe God brought Patty(my wife) and myself to this small neighborhood nearly 20 yrs ago. I admit, I was not 100% in favor of this, but Patty was able to see the heart of our home and neighborhood we had just been introduced to. One of the first people we spoke to was Marty...I’m sure some of the new families that settled into our neighborhood also experienced this act of kindness from a truly loving person he was. Marty was the Heart of the street...He always offered his help to anyone that needed it. Patty adored Marty and Cheryl...partly because they were just as crazy about Halloween as she was.
Let us not forget who was ALWAYS beside him ( other than Cheryl) was their bundle of love...Emma. Marty and Emma would proudly walk our street and make friends with everyone he met. I’m sure Emma had a part in all of this...also. Marty was a true friend to all of us. His love of “Community” was one of his quiet accomplishments. As I would be talking with Marty...man to man...we always talked about our love for our wives. I know this sounds corny, but it's true. Marty’s face would light up and his eyes would shine as we exchanged stories. There is so much love and respect for neighbors on our street...and Marty was the Heart of it. If I had to describe Marty in two words or less it would have to be “TRUE FRIEND’’ If I had a shot of Bourbon in my glass, I would ask you to join me in honoring Our Friend Marty...May his memory keep inspiring us always...

I'm so very sorry to hear about Marty passing away. My deepest sympathy to his wife and entire family. I worked with Marty at National City. We were project management peers for several years. Marty was a very kind soul, quirky, sometimes very serious and other times quite funny. I learned a lot from him over the years. He will be missed.
Sorry to hear about Marty...I always enjoyed talking with him, when he came in to visit at the greenhouse..Prayers are with you and your family

I am so sorry to hear of Marty’s passing. I met Marty in the 1970’s. We never worked on a project together, but our paths crossed many times over our decades in National City ID Group. Marty was a friendly, honest, fun-loving guy with a ready smile. And he always made me smile. He was a real gentleman. To his wife and family, I’m so sorry for your loss.
