    A good friend and good mechanic at Western for many years. I always loved teasing him because he would always try to be polite. We had many good times at the “C” shop.
    I was devastated when I heard of his death.
    My heart goes out to Loy and the girls. He was well liked by those who came in contact with him.
    Ingrid and I are so sorry for the Martens family.
