Marty was first a family man, and that family included an extended group of friends who will dearly miss him. His house was the fun gathering location that will be a cherished memory. Nobody was ever a stranger with Marty, as he was full of life and fascinating stories. People who only met him once would call him "a friend for life". An avid outdoorsman, Marty spent many of his days hunting, fishing, and shooting sports. Passionate about all of God's creatures, which included love for dogs, cats, goats, and of course, chickens.
