Martin was a great man who was undoubtably one of the most intelligent and kind hearted men I have ever known. I remember when we used to play as kids and we would have such a great time together. I remember those fun times when we would compete in ping pong tournaments, play basketball in the driveway, and swim in the pool. I miss those days. I pray that Martin may now rest in peace. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
