Following in his father's footsteps, Marty worked in the automotive industry for most of his life and was a body shop manager and adjuster. He later enjoyed a career in real estate.

Marty was known for his wicked sense of humor. He had a passion for treasure hunting, fishing, gardening, and football. "Go, Miami Dolphins!" He was an active member of St. Mary of the Angels Episcopal Church and joyfully devoted many hours of his time each week serving there.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 35 years, Mary Ann; his sons Edward and Thomas and stepchildren Michelle and Matthew; grandchildren Jackie, Kaylea, Elizabeth,Thea, Aolanea, Stephanie, and Jessica; great-grandchildren Samson, Gideon, and Lilith; nieces, nephews and other family members.

He is preceded in death by his parents, brother William, sister Joan, daughter Erin and daughter-in-law Vicky.

Marty will be cremated and laid to rest in the columbarium at his beloved church.

A Celebration of Life will be held Thursday, December 29th at 11:00 am at St. Mary of the Angels Episcopal Church 6316 Matchett Road, Orlando, FL 32809.
