Helene, I will always remember Marty shouting at the television during baseball games while we played bridge. He was a great guy!
I am so sorry,Helene that you lost your dear husband. He was such a gentleman and an asset to Stratford Arms.
We extend our deepest sympathy to you Helene and family at this time of Marty’s passing.

We are praying that you and the family will accept God’s peace and comfort at this time of loss. We also pray that the positive memories you have of Marty will sustain you at this time of grief.
I knew Marty as a soft spoken golfing pal. He could play the game. And he was a gentleman always. Especially here at Stratford Arms. May he Rest In Peace.
