  1. Jane Kostenko and Tyler Bell says:

    Marty was a great addition to our Southern Maryland birding group. I will always think of him when I bird at Point Lookout. Rest in peace, Marty.

  2. Sending prayers for Marty’s children and grandchildren. Marty was a kind and gentle man, a man that enjoyed adventure and teaching others. He loved to sing while laying in bed and was an excellent birder, could identify frogs, toads, butterflies, insects and most of all birds. He loved going out on the water and exploring the creeks and inlets and liked picnics on the beach. He enjoyed reading and especially books about others adventures. He loved hunting for civil war relics and other treasures. He loved England and spoke of his relatives there often, he loved his little dog but most of all he loved his son and daughter. Marty, thank you for being a part of my life and giving me so many special memories, you will always be remembered.
