I worked with Marty back in the 70's at a car dealership in Frankfort and my wife, Sandy Schultz, worked with Marty for several years when he was at Yanson Chevrolet. He was always a delight to be around. He was a very sharp automobile man, and always the impeccible dresser. Only now, do I realize how long ago it was that I was around Marty. Our deepest sympathies to the family.
