I first meet Marty when I first started working at the railway as a young man, and if it wasn't for him I probably would have been fired. Thanks Marty. We played a lot of golf together, and I always thought of him many times, he was remarkable man and I will never forget him. Rest in peace Marty - Posted by: Ron Boychuk (Friend, workmate, fellow player with the Transscona Turbos) on: Aug 29, 2017
