Martin is survived by four daughters, Lynsey (Steve) Cristofolini, Ashley (Brandon) Gilvey, Katelyn (Ben) Raimer and Kelley (Jason) Wilson-Wood. His doting attention was on the loves of his life, his eight grandchildren; Hadleigh and Delaney Gilvey, Carson and Jackson Raimer, Reese Wilson, Rylan and Nolan Wood and Alexander Kemp; his cousins, Richard (Tracie) Cristofolini and Lisa Cristofolini; his mother-in-law Marion Conlon; two aunts, Vicky Trudeau and Shirley Emerson and by nieces and nephews.

Martin loved golfing, weekend camp hunting trips with his best friend Richie Codogni and weekend drives in his custom Camaro, but his greatest joy came from spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. He formed many special bonds with great and supportive friends over the years. He was known for his pearly white smile, youthful face and no, he didn't dye his hair. He was always ready and willing to help anyone needing it. Generous and honest to a fault, he will be greatly missed by all.
