I've never met Marty, I only got to know him to the extent possible through reading his first layout article in OGR and on this forum over the almost two decades the forum's been in existence (I think he joined about 2 years after I joined). At any rate, what I saw was a man who was obviously passionate about the hobby, but also a very humorous and generous man. I saw his already considerable layout and repair skills evolve over the course of years to where I think he became one of the top command control conversion gurus that has ever graced this forum. The fact that he always invited people regardless of their "status" in the hobby to see and operate on his layout underlies his generosity and spirit of camaraderie I think speaks volumes about him as a human being. I'll certainly miss his contributions to the forum and the hobby, and give my sincere condolences to his family.
