I don't even know why I am writing this but I think it is to send a message to my sweet Marty. I am thinking of you today and always. We had so many good times and laughs. Our jaunt through Europe and our years we shared thereafter are forever etched in my heart. I am so sorry I didn't understand and I wasn't there for  you when you needed it the most. I know you forgive me and I will catch you on the other side....I don't know why there are no pictures of you but I want you to know that you mattered to so many. I will love you forever. 1973 proud, right? You took that Stairway to Heaven before me. 
Always,
J

Mr. Richard was one of the kindness most generous men l’ve ever know. Wonderful father, husband and friend

I am so sorry for your loss.  He was a wonderful man and I will always remember his kindness.

I well remember, and value, the time I spent with Martin from 1964 - 1969 working for Texaco on Canal Street. A gentleman and hero, through and through.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

With sympathy and prayers,

Dolores, I was so sorry to see that Martin had passed away.  I didn't realize he was sick.  I know I've seen you both in church lately.  I will miss seeing him and hope you will continue to live a happy life.  I hope to see you in church and in restaurants.  I will be out of town on Tuesday, but my thoughts and prayers will be with you.  I'm sure many of the Texaco retirees will be with you.  My best to you.
