Dear Kathy, Seeing Marty’s face in the photograph brought you both back to me and refreshed my missing you. I would so like you to send me your email or telephone number so I can talk to you. There is a wonderful, funny memory Mose Putney wrote me about the Vogue. Usually I avoid Facebook but I went to my nephew’s memories of Marty which moved Mose to write me back and I want to share that with you. I still have the vivid blue ceramic you gave me, a fragile object which has endured over all these years. Please let me know how to contact you. Tom wants to know about Drew, and I, about all of you. Maybe Weezie can help me find you. Louisville lost a lot when you all left. You and Marty were bright spots in our lives. Love to you, Helen Jones (and Tom Pike)

Kathy, Drew, Matthew: One cold January afternoon in Louisville, Marty drove 30 mins to our house in the country to haul huge reels of 16 mm film (Disney Shorts) projector and screen for our daughter, Hope’s, 4th birthday (1978 before VCR’s or DVD’s). A magical memory for us all! Marty gave us a beautiful huge jade plant that thrived in an alcove of windows near our dining table. Our 4 yr old daughter, Mary, loved to tilt backwards in her chair and one day she went too far. On her way down she was rescued just in time by Marty’s jade plant. Both are treasured family stories of Marty’s generosity and kindness. We send our love. Weezie, Don, Hope, Mary Gulick

My name is Sue Barrows and I had the privilege of getting to know Marty in a special way the last nine months of his life. I began working for his dear friend, Mildie, as her companion/caregiver and was lucky enough to spend a lot of time in Mildie’s house with Marty as well. I have known many hospice patients and each person and experience is unique; but my time and memories with Marty will be treasured in a way that will forever change my life for the better. Rest in eternal peace, Marty. You will always be loved and remembered by the many lives you touched in your special way.

Marty was one of my favorite people in this entire world. I have worked at Sam’s Chowder House for 8 years and he was my favorite regular. Since I was a hostess, I always got to see him the moment he walked in the door with a big smile on his face every time. I always had to get my hug when he walked in the door and then I would meet him at the bar while he was enjoying his lunch, to talk about what restaurants to try and which to avoid. I loved his stories. Marty, you will never be forgotten. Thank you for being the amazing man you were and thank you for making me feel special every day that you graced us with your presence. You will be missed forever. All my love goes to Kathy and the rest of the family ❤️ -Katie Fischer
