This photo was taken at my wedding reception in Maui in 2011.  
We Loved You Very Much Cousin Junior and know you are now with our parents and other family that have passed on.
Your spirit will live forever in all of our hearts.

My mother was an orphan and his mother and father took her in when Martin was a child.  My mom and Martin were 1st cousin's and grew up together.  She told me wonderful stories of the time she lived with them.  I looked up Martin in 2006 while visiting Hawaii for the first time.  He was very gracious and happy to meet me and invite me into his home.  I went back a couple of more times and visited with him on Maui at a reunion and met up with Martin on Kauai, where he showed us around the island and met up with a friend of his there.  He knew the plants and history of Hawaii and would explain to me what this plant was and what that plant was and what it could be used for.  He told me stories about his life on the island,  stories about my late mom, and his time in the military.  Wonderful man.  I miss him.
