I have grown up with Marty and have so many good memories of Irish Lake and our time in the boat together. Not for sure what we did or where we went but we sure had some adventures and for those memories I am grateful for. Even then Marty was a great guy and as he grew I can tell he continued on the same path throughout his life. Wishing your family great memories to hold in your heart for years to come.
