Where was Uncle Marty's Coffin at his service? I tuned in but did not see it. Was he cremated?

Dear Aunt Carole, Michael, Steven, Ricky, Jeffrey and your families, 
So sorry for your loss and I hope that warm memories and one another’s company will comfort you at this time.  I remember Uncle Marty as a fierce defender - always ready to take up the cause of any family member and provide a hand.  When my mother was in the hospital after suffering a stroke, he readily provided several medical referrals that I needed and streamlined my way to quick appointments.   As I struggled with a frustrating medical system, I was comforted knowing that, were I to become overwhelmed, I had my Uncle Marty in my back pocket.  His support was a formidable tool.  If I had chosen to employ it, I’m quite certain the staff would have wished they were kinder to me in the first place!! :)  

His support was not new or limited to serious circumstances.  I recall a winter visit to our home in Flanders, NJ.  Maybe 1975?  Aunt Carole, Uncle Marty, Michael, Steven, and Ricky were visiting (Jeffery was much older, so I do not think he was there. Ricky would soon follow. But, for now, he still played with us little kids.) Anyway.  We were outside playing in the snow, building snowmen, making snow angels, throwing snowballs, etc.. Some boys from the neighborhood threatened to destroy our snowmen.  We ran inside to “tell” on them.  Uncle Marty immediately offered up the brawny defense of our boy cousins!!  There was no confrontation, but I never forgot the offer!!

Uncle Marty will always hold a warm place in my heart and I will try to harness his energy when defense is required.  

Love to all, 
Nancy
