Marty was an incredible teacher and an all around wonderful human being. He was incredibly kind and always had an open mind and open heart. I was always fascinated by him as he always seemed to have a child-like wonder about the world around him. I, like everyone who was lucky enough to know him, will always remember his loud and contagious laugh; reminding us to never take life too seriously. He taught me to always think outside the box and look at the world from a different perspective. High School was a difficult time for me but he created a safe space for me to be myself. He taught me to not be afraid of my uniqueness but instead to embrace it and all the things that make me different. I carry the life lessons he taught me like precious treasures. These lessons truly impacted my life in all the best possible ways. I am humbled and honored to have had him as a teacher, mentor and friend. Rest peacefully, Marty. Much love to you and your family as you navigate this next chapter.
