Martin was a long-time member of St. Andrew’s Catholic Church in Chincoteague, a Hunter
Safety Instructor, and a winemaker. He was also a fisherman, a packrat, a jokester, and a man
of prayer who did many charitable works. He spent his last years staying with his daughter and
her family, and was a loving role model for his four grandchildren as they grew up.

A Funeral Mass will be held at 11 AM on October 20th at his Maryland church, St. Francis de
