Thelma: How shocked and saddened Barb and I were to return home from out of state and in reviewing our missed newspapers to find Marty’s obituary. We are truly sorry for your and your families loss. I always thought running into you and Marty as a real treat as he and I enjoyed our friendly “bantering”. Barb and I enjoy boating typically several days in the week and had recently mentioned missing our friend Marty and his beautiful boat and wondering where he was…….We certainly will keep Marty in our prayers and I know while cruising Lake Decatur that the memory of Marty will surface often.God bless you and your family,Tom and Barb Toney

Thelma: Our deepest sympathy as Barb and I just returned from being out of state and were shocked to see Marty’s obituary in the paper as we get caught up with recent news. Amazingly we just mentioned Marty as we were on the lake over the weekend and thought it strange that we hadn’t seen our boater friend out enjoying himself. It was always a treat to see you and Marty out to dinner or at mass as he and I always had fun with the “banter”. He will be truly missed and we will keep you both in our prayers.

Thelma & Family, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Marty was a great man and will be greatly missed. I did not see you folks very often living in Maine but he was always generous to my parents. So sorry for your loss. May God give you strength to move on.

Marty was an incredible person!
He had the rare ability to be liked by everyone he met.
He, and his loving wife, Thelma, were loyal customers at my Avon Theater since the day we reopened the doors nearly 20 years ago.
I trusted Marty to all my car servicing and maintenance, and he was always professional and honest to a fault.
Unfortunately, I don’t think my wife and I can attend the funeral due to a previous business commitment we can’t re-schedule (although we are trying),
Marty knows we are thinking about him.
We lost one of the good ones!-Skip & Susan Huston

Remy and Armand, we learned of Marty’s passing from Skip Huston’s newsletter just tonight. I was fortunate to be able to spend time speaking with Marty at the shop when we were having our cars serviced. He said that he was from the northernmost point of Maine, Aroostook County, and he told me about being stationed at Chanute AFB and wound up staying after his service. Marty shared his family recipe for Ployes and even gave me a tin of buckwheat to make them. Please accept our sincerest condolences on his passing. We have very fond memories of Marty and we appreciate doing business with all you guys.

I had known Marty since the 1970’s when I had a business very close to his. We became good friends, and did favors for each other, I also bought quite a few tires from him, until I moved away from Decatur. After leaving, when visiting Decatur, I would always stop by to see Marty, He always had a smile on his face and acted very happy to see me and would stop to chat for a short while before getting back to his business at hand. Marty will be missed by myself and many others, He was one of the most positive individuals I have ever known.

Our sincere sympathy to the family of Marty. He was always a hard worker at his store. We have known Marty for about 40 years. He had just opened his own store. Marty did a lot of repair work on all of our cars over many years. I can remember I went to the tire store to get two tires for a friend that lives in the Orlando Apts., and basically had nothing. His car was threatened to be towed if not moved from the spot in front of the Orlando. My youngest son, Jeff and I finally got the car started, but the tires were so worn, they would not take air. We went to Marty’s. Marty knew that size of tire did not fit any of my cars, so he asked about why I was wanting smaller tires. We told Marty the story of the person with a old beat-up car and two flat tires that were trash. Marty found two of the same size tires and said, “on the house”. Meaning he was giving the tires to the person. Will never forget Marty. He is one of the few people you meet in life that you will always remember. Thank you Marty. Now, rest in peace.
