May God grant him rest. John Stellos from Greece. Relative. giannis.stellos.64@gmail.com

Marty came into my head yesterday while thinking about the old days. We were Eastchester neighbors, tennis pals, and college classmates, and glee club members. Went looking for him on fb and found his page but noticed no activity recently. Did a search and found this.......... I remember his dad's flower shop on Main Street, New Rochelle. Fond memories. May he rest in peace. Joe Palisi, Mount Pleasant, SC

Remember when we kids on the corner of the street! (3rd street)? Oh how we could harmonize. Prayers and songs go with you.

Sionag...One of the first things that comes into my mind when I think of the old neighborhood is you and Marty. It is with warmth and love that I remember Marty. His many songs sung strongly to one of the dogs on a warm summer's night is something I will always remember. His caring and genuine friendship are things that I treasure. His love of music influenced me greatly!

Brian and Family - I am so very sorry for your loss. Please keep the memories of your dad alive in your heart. May the memories comfort you and give you peace.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Dear Sionag and loved ones of Marty. He was a kind and gentle man who will be missed. It was a pleasure to know him. With sincere thoughtfulness at this time of your sadness.

My memories of Marty are wonderful and make me smile. His charismatic personality and his incredible singing voice always brightened the day. He had a kind word, a funny story, or a magic of breaking into song every time I had the pleasure of sharing his company. Thank you for sharing him with the world, Sionag, I am glad that you found each other and brightened each other's days. My sympathy for your loss.

Dear Brian and Family, My sincere condolences on the loss of your beloved father, grandfather. Over the years I have known you, I was always touched by the humorous, touching, caring stories you shared of your father, Martin.
