Marty ole buddy. We had some good times in work and play, from Larrys to when we scouted out your property to built the house, from Culver Rd to Saudi Arabia to Shop C. That classic Chevette. Our rides to work, the boat we bought. Missed you at Dads funeral. Wished I would have known I would have been there. We had some times. Sharon and family. Sorry for your loss, Marty was a good guy. Thought of him often.
