To the Martin Family: I am very sorry to learn of your loved ones' passing. Although I didn't know Thomas, I have very fond memories of his Dad, Mr. Steve - a funny, loving, kind, strong and generous gentleman whose kind are far too few now, with that generation just about lost on us. And Mrs. Martin; the quintessential nice lady, always greeting you with a nod on her way to the clothesline or the henhouse. I have pleasant memories, also, of the Martin grandchildren who visited Freshwater in summertime; Christie and Lori (or Laurie), especially. No trouble to see where Thomas acquired his beautiful attributes. Take care and God bless.
