My condolences to Laura and the rest of the Martin clan. It only seems like yesterday that the McGuire boys and the Martins were kids playing together in Salisbury Park.
After many years of separation, I was so happy that Bobby stopped by to see me while I was still working in Norwood a few years back. We chatted about the old days when we were kids, and about the mischief Bobby and I and my brother Jimmy would get into. We kept our respective mothers very busy.
Unfortunately I cannot make the wake and funeral as I just had hip replacement surgery. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. May God bless!
