Terry, Marty And and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. He will truly be missed.
I enjoyed my years working for Marty at the Forge.I learned a lot from him and respected him so much, as he did me; even though I was a young new welder with new ideas! He ran a tight ship and stayed on top of all the maintenance duties that we had! Rest in Peace old buddy!
Marty was my partner volunteering as an escort in Imaging at Warren General for several years. After that we kept in close touch through e-mail. I loved hearing from him. He will be missed by the many people whose lives he touched.
Terry and Mary Ann, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. He was a kind gentleman. God bless you and your family with comfort.
