Mensch
What a mensch!
Marty was the lawyer who was most often referred when you heard of a person in trouble.
He helped countless people in time of need and despair and gave them hope when they felt there was none.
His family will only now hear about a fraction of the good deeds he performed selflessly on behalf of others during his lifetime.
May his dear family bask in these good memories and continue the good deeds and mitzvos that Marty dedicated his life to.
Honesty
He was no Match for today’s crooks
Thanks
He helped me and my family get thru very hard times, not just professionally but also emotionally. I wish I had more time with him to say thank you.
