marty I havent been on the forum much lately and just saw this. my prayers and best wishes go out to you and dotty. you were always there for me with tech help when I needed it. so its only right that I will be there for you as a prayer warrior in this moment. may gods will for your life be done. may he give you a full and healthy recovery from this.
GET WELL MARTY....
Marty, we met at the NJ Hi Railers Trainstock. I am sorry to hear of your health problems. I will pray that you make a full and complete recovery.
Modern oncology, and medicine in general, has made tremendous progress in the last several years. I have been on ambulatory life support (hemodialysis) for the last 14 years. Surviving with renal failure for that length of time is a testament to modern medicine. Hang in there, Marty!
Dearest Marty and Dottie,
Our Church members are praying for you and we imagine you are on many a prayer list across this nation and the world. My friend an I have been to your house many times. He has since passed. I just hope and pray that Marty gets better so that some day we can meet again and put the past behind us. We all make mistakes and have to pay for it with the loss and closeness that we once shared. I have to say that when I had you and Dottie as dear friends, it meant the world to me. I hope and pray that we can make amends before it is too late. Again Marty, you are in our prayers.

Marty our friend, you are in Ruth's and my prayers.
Dotty, thank you for taking care of Marty in his time of need. That's true friendship.
Bob & Ruth
And LOVE! ☺
Gotta keep the Old Guard on the roster, so hang in there. It's been a rough road, but you haven't driven off it, and it seems the roughest stretch is behind you now. Just keep looking ahead. Best to you and your wife.
Marty we may have never met I always enjoyed reading your posts on this forum. always straight and to the point. You'll be in my prayers and I know you will beat this.
Hello, Marty & Dottie. I am sending morning and evening prayers to the Almighty that he will heal you and you will recover from your Cancer. You are a Great Man, and Dottie is a Great Lady to have at your side.
May God Bless you and Dottie, and from myself, and the rest of the Forum, I wish you a Speedy Recovery and I hope to see you again, whether it is October 2019 York, or in the future.

Dotty and Marty, My prayers are for you both.
Marty, My hopes and prayers are with you. It was always a learning experience, and welcome pleasure when you shared your knowledge with me making small repairs on locos at Vince's booth at York. Hang in there, and beat this thing. We'll all get together at York again soon!
Marty,
We always happen to cross paths randomly in York in the Orange Hall. It's always great to see you and Dotty smiling and covorting (is that the right word?) with everyone. It makes York, York. You have a lot more signatures to collect for that wall of yours so get well and God bless you and Dotty. Your in my thoughts and prayers and I hope to see you in October. BigRail
Prayers to you and yours........get well.
Wishing you all the best for a complete recovery.
Marty and Dotty, I haven't been here on the forum much since I finally returned to work in April. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Dotty, I drive by the East St. Exit on Rt. 128 everyday on my to Watertown from Middleboro. If there is anything I can do to help you guys out, please reach out and let me know. Can be as mundane as stopping at a local store to pick something up to save you a trip. Chris A.
Marty is an institution in O-gauge. I have magazines featuring his layout from the early 90s, maybe late 80s. Hang in there, fellow train man.
Marty and Dotty,
I’m sending my best prayers and positive thoughts your way for good news on the treatment. I’m a cancer survivor myself so I understand the challenges. You two sure seem like an amazing duo!! Keep aiming for the October York!
We are deeply touched and amazed at the outpouring of prayers, good wishes and offers to help from our fellow forum members. I read every post to Marty, and we both appreciate you all...more than we can say. Treatment is ongoing, of course, and there's little change at this stage, other than he's lost some weight and is still tired all the time. His next chemo treatment is July 5, and radiation is still 5 days a week. I will continue to follow this thread and keep you all in the loop. Thank you all.
Nothing but positive thoughts for Marty’s fight and recovery...and for you as well, Dotty, for being there every step of the way!
