It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Edward Charles Martin with his family by his side. He was the son of the late Ernest and Florence Martin. Edward was a beloved son, father, brother,  uncle and friend.

 

Edward was a Vietnam Combat Veteran from 1970 to 1973. He later worked at Wyeth and World Warehouse for many years but his true love was fishing. He provided the local area with some of the finest perch to be served in area restaurants. He also enjoyed hunting, bird watching, and playing with his adored dog, Gracie. His favorite past time in life was being a grandfather and a great-grandfather.
