I am saddened by the loss of Marty. Marty and I went  to Northwood Elementary School together. He was always in the smart class. At that time his best friend was Cliff Goodman, who subsequently moved away in junior high.Both were highly intelligent, great athletes and very pleasant. You could always count on Marty to deliver in a baseball game. He would always  hit the go ahead run  with a single to left.  He was the same at Wiley. He was in many honor claseses and played football. I remember when he broke his wrist while playing halfback in the ninth grade. The girl I had a crush on, had a crush on Marty.  The last time I saw Marty was at Ohio State, where I belive he was studying to be a physical therapist.I will always remember him with his smile.

I went on  the internet and discovered that Marty became an  MD  and became a highly successful physician in Tampa Florida , who passed away in 2010. His patients loved him.

Grew up with MM, Marty, we were on teams,  from Day Camp Northwood,   we were best friends, in the same Wiley classes.  I got Dad to trade for him, as relative, first thing,  since he was a Tris Speaker Manager,  to get Marty on our team with Alan Feldman and a bunch of ringers so I wouldn't be fool at 3rd base. (I stunk)

Marty 3 years younger than older kids, in league,  but he had balls, and he walked on field first practice as Rookie and took over Short Stop,   He OWNED THE SHORTSTOP spot, he was that good.  glasses or no glasses like me.   Lol.  Everyone on team was in awe of him.   

What a fantastic shortstop,  and hitter,  I was fortunate to play 3rd base next to him, 2 years, and jealous of his ability, drive, persaverance, and his humor.

Especially when we won a game, we got our 3rd base coach (A Deans Dairyman) to sneak us all in to the Depot at Deans, where he worked,  for free ice cream, as a bribe for every win......  Marty and I would slide rubber cleats up, to take out the kids to make sure we won, Hahahah,   

He was a brain too, Straight A' s    We sat with Cliff Goodman, in homeroom period , and laugh at our Mr Ferry, (then Gay) teacher, pulling up his red socks and garteers, Lisping;  us laughing so hard,until we d vomit...me and Cliff would just die laughing , at the schtick,  playing back and forth with Mr. Ferry....and his golfing stories and red socks....remember?  there was a Mr. Fay who swished, and Mr. Ferry, who was outrageous,  Im   still laughing with Cliff Goodman,  ( by the way Cliff was great too in little league, first Base)

Lost track of Marty when i was drafted by star athlete Joe Urban, and his Dads team in senior A League;

Joe Urban was star pitcher in senior A, and went on to Quarter Back at Heights,  what an Athlete he was!!!

 I didnt have heart to tell him I stunk.and I realised I couldnt even throw the ball to the plate, such a geek.  

Marty Laughed so hard he chipped his tooth. thats when i ran to the trumpet quick, on MM  advise,

Marty smirking with his smile, 'Lance "at baseball, he said, you stink.....LOL."'
