These pictures are from the early 80s when Marty and I were an “item” 😊
Time marched on but we stayed friends. He and Dan coached our daughter and his nephews St Jerome’s TBall team (undefeated I might add) which led to him meeting my good friend Bea..a match made in heaven. Their love was amazing to watch..she was the best thing that ever happened to him!
Marty will be missed by many!

Our greatest memory of Marty will always be that of the "The Best Neighbors," Ever! He and Bea have been our neighbors, in our twin homes, for just a little over 4 years, and believe me it was not long enough, they became part of our family. My husband,Tom and Marty had lots to chat about, both being avid golfers and with our homes on the golf course, it could be the weather conditions or those who braved heat, wind, cold etc. not to miss a day to play.
For me, Marty will always be, "Mr. Marty and I to him, Miss Ginny". When Marty was well enough to go outside, we would chat about everything going on, and Mr. Marty never missed anything. He was quite a guy. I loved his smile, his jokes, his knowledge, his funny wit and of course his love of his Beatrice. He cared for people and always made friends easily.
We were blessed to be present with Bea on Friday night when Marty passed, to suffer no more. Bea and Marty were not alone. Mr. Marty knew I alway had him on my daily prayer list and he was grateful.
God speed Mr. Marty, we will miss and love you always.
Ginny & Tom Horsey
Early days of Marty’s retirement, sporting some flashy wheels. He enjoyed the hell out of his “SWING SLO” sweet chariot.
Marty was always down to pick some crabs and offer to share his pickings with his favorites 🦀
Marty was always ready to greet me with a smile or a compliment, and I always felt welcome around him. We shared many meals together, and we both had a shared loved for desserts. He looked out for everyone's safety and genuinely cared about the well being of those close to him. I admire his strength and perseverance as he battled cancer, and I'm so glad he got to enjoy some wonderful time in remission, and have Bea's undying love and caretaking until the very end. He will be missed, and we will carry on his memory.
There are so many memories that I have with Marty. He was an important piece of the Hyattsville family of friends. Like all of them we have been friends for ever and no time was ever to long that when we talked it was always like yesterday.
