Marty worked as an automotive mechanic all of his life; he started his mechanic career at the Big Island Service Center that his parents operated, and finished working out of his own garage. Marty truly loved the outdoors, and was the epitome of a true sportsman with coon, deer, and ginseng hunting. He was known as the Ginseng man. He also enjoyed fishing, camping, and hiking. Marty had a passion for classic cars, some of his favorites being: the Laguna, Chevelle, and Monte Carlo. You could count on him rooting for the New England Patriots come Sunday during football season and enjoyed finding good deals at auctions and flea markets, and even setting up at the flea market with his uncle Cork. He bowled for many years, played pool, enjoyed listening to music, and when a song came on he could tell you the Singer/group, title of the song, and the name of the album, he liked playing cards, and spending time with friends and family. He will be missed by all that knew him.
