Father Martin will leave a big loss to all who have known him. He baptised me and my children, and he was one of the reasons we became Christians.
His gentle and discreet manners hid a deep intelligence, as much social as intellectual. He could read people and situations very clearly, knew all about his church and the congregation. He knew who was doing what, and who to lean on where the parish needed it. A caring, practical man, dedicated to his parishioners.

We will remember fondly his insightful homilies, his special time with the children at the family mass once a month, and his gentle preparation for their first communion and reconciliation. We will also remember his beautiful music, his organ playing and his singing.
Father Martin was a modest and inspiring man, who touched the lives of so many.
