I met him when I worked at Applebee's in the early 90s. He was the handyman, and always available to help out--in fact, he was more helpful than many of the able-bodied people I knew. He was soft-spoken, kind and had a wonderful sense of humor. You will be missed, Marty. Shake feet with St. Peter when you get there. Swampwolf 2007-11-13T21:46:22Z
