Such a loss of a wonderful man, Martin made everyone happy and always singing. Everyone in Scotland loved him so much.
From May, Aileen and family

I want to express my deepest sympathy to the family. Martin was a very gracious person that made me feel personally very welcome to be around he and his bride. I will always remember the man and the stories that family told about him with great joy. Take care on your new journey. Pete.

Well uncle Martoon. You will surely be missed. You meant so much to so many. When I was young you were always there with candy in your pocket and a five dollar bill in your hand so I could go to the movies , you always called me sweet heart, you always smelled awesome, and you were always impeccably dressed! ( thanks to your bride) when I was older you told me great jokes, were up for a party anytime! ( much to Aunty Rita's chagrin) You doted on my kids showed interest in thier sports  and thier birthdays,and told me a lot of greet sea stories!! Your funny sayings and nicknames are legendary, your bigger than life personality is legendary!  You lit up the room, you made every woman feel beautiful, every child feel unique! Your family traditions created magical childhood memories. Thank you for being a person who left full hearts in his wake! As an elder you suffered  loses, handled them with grace and were caring and kind till the end. Your legacy is large and strong and unforgettable! Much love, and respect your neice Lisa your great neice Karli, and your nephews Cam Tom( the Penguins)and Miles ( with your apple varietal of the same nomer!)

A man who lived to the fullest and was a huge part of our lives for so many years.  Last night our Lulu Island Strummers (28 of us) strummed and sang Amazing Grace for you Captain....bullet proof.  Will miss your melodious voice of I Can't Get Started. Smooth sailing.  Sister-in-law, Maureen Tweedly

Martin will be missed very much by his cousin, in Nanaimo, Robert Georgeson and Robert's wife Earla.  Sad news indeed.
