Marty is also survived by his former spouse Michelle and sister MaryEllen. He was preceded in death by his parents Arthur and Mary Ann (nee Calvey) brother Art and sister Eileen.
Marty passed away on December 3rd, 2020. He was a friend to many and made many more laugh with his bad jokes and self-deprecating humor. He was born and raised in Brooklyn, Ohio and never strayed too far away. He wore many hats over his lifetime including, umpire, referee, construction company owner/laborer, lifeguard/manager, bus driver, underground utilities locator, and probably many more. He loved gardening and hanging out at the Hopp Inn. Most importantly he loved bringing people together.

It will take place at the Grand Pavilion (7619 Memphis Ave, Brooklyn, Ohio https://goo.gl/maps/ xGAt5jVEbcWvp98N9 ) in Brooklyn, Ohio, and everyone who loved Marty is invited to the BBQ to share in his love.
