he was my best firend in the world and i miss him dearly.and he allways came to see me and our love for each other was brother&sister
Martin was a very sweet and thoughtful person to everyone, he always helped everyone who needed it. He was my Knight in Shining Armour. He always made me laugh, he had a great sense of humor. I was looking forward to our trip next year out west. But I still have great memories we shared. I loved him very much, and will miss him. Goodbye Sweet Knight.
I was befriended by Martin since the early eighties and am saddened by his passing. I know a cirlce of friends who knew him and greatly appreciated his friendship
