Outside of work, he enjoyed remodeling, gardening, fishing, and preparing delicious meals and desserts with an impressive presentation that would have earned him notable recognition on Top Chef. As he slowly approached retirement, he had already began traveling the globe with his fiancée, Josephine Wartel and her family and friends. He spent an amazing 15 days in Kenya, where he visited tourist sites including Masai Mara where he came face to face with its natural wildlife (ostriches, lions and tigers) Spain and France where he learned how to ask for their delicious pastries and fries in French. In the heart of the summer, he voyaged to Mexico where he spent a fun filled week relaxing, and enjoying the stress-free, festive vibes of the country. He never lost his love of trains, which was a result of his father’s occupation; his love of recreational fish and tanks; and his love of Bruce Lee movies. Martin shall forever be known as a good provider for his family and a man of few words with a sarcastic flare. May he rest in eternal peace. Please click here to attend the service via livestream.
