Marty was a veteran as he dedicated his life to the military. He served in the Army from 1949 until 1952. He then went on to serve multiple tours in the Air Force from the years of 1957 until 1973. He saw combat in Korea and was a cook in the Air Force while stationed in Vietnam. He is the recipient of a Purple Heart during his time in the Air Force.

Marty was a loving and generous Uncle to his many nieces and nephews. He was an avid and decorated bowler who had spent many hours trying to teach others how to bowl as well as him. He was inducted into the Duluth Area Hall of Fame for bowling in Minnesota. He often enjoyed playing cards, golfing, word searches, playing pool and he was always known to have a massive sweet tooth. Marty had never learned how to drive making him the world’s best co-pilot, who always made sure your gas tank was filled. Marty had roots in many states during his time in and out of the service including New York, Colorado, Texas, Washington, Massachusetts, California, Arizona, Minnesota, Las Vegas, New Jersey and North Carolina; but he always liked it better where it was warm.
