I was very sorry to hear about Mr. Martins passing. I have very fond memories of him and always a smile or just joking around.
I’m sure he will be very much so missed but I know he has left you all so many beautiful memories. RIP Gord🙏
We just heard that Gord passed away, our condolences tp his family. Gord use to play softball with Joe in the old timers league. We had many a good laugh with him during those times. After he stopped playing he use to come to the games and bring his little dog with him, and again we would share a good laugh. Condolences are also sent by Jim Kavanagh who was a good friend of Gord’s some years ago.
Dear Mary and all my cousins in the Martin family. Once again you have to face the loss of a loved one. This beautiful family has had way too many. I think back to many years, on a Sunday afternoon, taking Mom (Phyllis) out to see Uncle Vic and Aunt Kit. I had thought we had a big family, until I met the Martin clan. I remember how sweet and loving they all were, and always had a smile. Of course we’ve met many times over the years, and their happy smiles never changed, even during the many tragic times. We usually met in funeral homes where the smiles and tears were sometimes mingled. Gord was a sweet man. The last time I saw him was actually in a funeral home and I remarked how much he looked like Uncle Vic. God bless all of you, my dear cousins. God has blessed you, and all the big Martin family with an abundance of love. Many of us have already been called to our heavenly home. Gord has now joined them around the throne of Almighty God, and by His grace, one day the family circle will come back together again. Love, prayers and blessings to everyone of you. Cousin Shirley (Rev.) and Charlie Gosse. ❤️
My condolences to you Mary and your family .Hold on to your memories.
