Marty was my Scoutmaster when I was a new Boy Scout when I was young in Bowling Green. He was such an inspiration to me at that time in my life. Many fond memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

May the angels lead you into paradise;
may the martyrs come to welcome you
and take you to the holy city, the new and eternal Jerusalem.

Merciful Lord, open the gates of paradise
to your servant Martin and help us who remain
to comfort one another with assurances of faith
until we all meet in Christ
and are with you and our brother forever.

Father F. J. Nietfeld

I have fond memories of Marty's wife, Janet, my most wonderful choir director at Elmwood High School (Ohio); she gave me inspiration to become a teacher. She always spoke lovingly of husband Marty as well as her children. I remember when you were pregnant with Brian, and then decided to retire to be a fulltime mom. Your students were devastated.

My sympathy to you and your family. May God embrace you at this time.
