"Bones"

I had taught with Marty Martino for a few years...I learned from Marty and enjoyed his sharp witt and precise corrections, he was a passionate wonderful coach. He was awesome! My son Chris spent many a time with him in lessons and Marty nicknamed him BONES it sticks to this day. He will be sooo missed and honored all the days of our lives!

Marty Always Said "Hi!"

I remember that Marty took the time to say hello to me every time I went to Sertich Ice Center. He also made me laugh; it is difficult for anyone to make me laugh! Marty was a very special man.
