Martin retired from the US Coast Guard as a Chief Warrant Officer III, where he proudly served his country for 26 years. Soon after he obtained his Associate’s degree from Sullivan University in business administration. He will be remembered for his iconic talent of building golf clubs from scratch. Martin became so well known for his incredible skill that he was invited to teach a weekly seminar at the Ford plant. He absolutely loved the game of golf and he never met a stranger.
The family requests that expressions of sympathy may be made to Hosparus of Louisville.
