S. MARTIN NAGELKOP

Condolences & Memories (18 entries)

• I've known Martin since 1973. I was 9 years old. I saw him then drive his muscle car with pride. Live like he didn't care what anyone thought, like Paul le Mat of the old movie... American Graffitti. He lived passionately. Pursuing my sister. Fighting for her love. They could not keep their hands off each other. Or be apart. They were one. Not to be separated by anyone. I was there to witness this. He was kind to me. A big brother type. I cared for him. I was with him the day Elvis died. In 1977. I was visiting my sister and him that morning. She had to go to work. He made me eggs that morning. He was pretty sad. I was there that day. I was there and was a bridesmaid the day he married my sister. He was happy. I danced with his brother. I remember his Mom whom he loved. He insisted they play "can't help falling in love" by Elvis to their first married dance together. He was so happy. He sang and played "sixteen candles" on my 16th birthday in 1980 to me. I was there when his first two girls were born in Winnipeg. He was so excited and full of pride. I went with him to his father's funeral when he died....He was sad. He helped his dad through tough times even though Martin lived through rough times with his dad. He was forgiving as well...giving. Martin lived life. The way it was presented to him. He did what he thought was best. He was human. Today I realize that he would never want to burden people with his own illness. He wanted to leave this life being the guy riding out of here in his muscle car with dignity and full of pride. RIP....Condolences to all whom loved him. Past and present. Whom were part of and witnessed his life. To his children especially, Candice, Amber and Carolyn....my sympathy. Auntie Sharon - Posted by: Auntie Sharon (Sister in law) on: Apr 22, 2022

• RIP Martin. It was always a pleasure working when you were around. Time flies and it seems like it was ages ago when you first arrived from Winnipeg. You always helped everyone. Keep soaring high Marty. Cheers. - Posted by: Don and charlene Leylabd (Coworker) on: Apr 09, 2022

• I worked with Martin in the same department for many years. Always so easy-going and always happy regardless of the obstacles he faced. We had so many good laughs at work it made the day much more enjoyable when he was on shift. I once penned him Nibblecock and when Danny Carroll heard that (RIP Danny) he ran with it!! 🤣 not sure if Marty liked it though lol! Sincere condolences to the family in losing a truly awesome individual. With deep respect Bernie Lamers - Posted by: Bernie Lamers (Co-worker and friend ) on: Apr 09, 2022

• I worked with Martin for many years on graveyard shift. We always talked and I enjoyed his personality and demeanor. Extremely nice man with a great sense of humor. I saw him recently before I retired in August and I hung around after work to chat with him, and to see what was currently going on. I am so glad I took that time to spend with him. He will be missed. My condolences to his family, he was a great man. - Posted by: Clay Ferguson (Co worker) on: Apr 08, 2022

• I got to know Martin ten years ago when his lovely daughter, Candice, married my son, Chris. We were both great Elvis fans and were delighted when “Elvis” appeared at the wedding reception! He was a kind man, great sense of humour and loved his daughters. He upholstered several antique chairs for me last year during Covid and they will always remind me of his talent and kindness. Sadly, Parkinson’s took it’s toll in the end. Rest In Peace, dear Martin and know that I am honoured to have Candice in my life. She is like a daughter to me too. - Posted by: Rosemary Alder (Candice’s mother-in-law.) on: Apr 02, 2022
