I recall Marty as one of the most interesting people I have ever known.  He was his own person, an iconoclast who questioned accepted wisdom as suspect.  He loved cats, a refreshing passion to see expressed by an engineer.  It is in this light that I share a cartoon that we shared on messenger, and that I know his dark humor would love.  But his creativity and spontaneity of thought was, on the other hand, also disciplined.  Our work required our getting a license to drive a semi-truck and trailer.  He and I practiced required driving maneuvers backing up accurately without hitting construction cones, etc., and I accredit his scientific approach to my own success.  He would establish a fixed driving strategy, hold all variables constant but one, change the one factor, and observe the consequences.  Through an accretion of steps toward success, we both learned the proper techniques.  Well done, Marty.  And thank you.  Your refreshing thought process and sense of humor were enjoyable and will be missed.     

I will always have fond memories of Marty, we worked together at the same company at the time of his passing, although on different shifts.   Marty was always early for work.  He loved his kitty's, and that love was even remembered by Paul from Union Pacific during a UP training course that I took long after Marty had taken the course!   One time, in March of 2019 early in the morning, Marty got to drive me to an IHC workmed location and he waited for me while I got "tested", that will always be my favorite memory of Marty.  I also spent time with him out on the "alignment" as we call it, working on switches or replacing impedance box cables.  The last time I remember seeing Marty he was working on some electronics project back in the shop area.  God speed Martin Beaver! Till we meet again!
