William Harold George 'Marty' Martin

In loving memory of William Harold George Martin, June 19, 1934 – September 16, 2025. Son of the late John Henry and Daisy (nee Hedderson) Martin.

Marty will be greatly missed by his stepchildren Sandra (Noel†) Nattrass, Francine (Jack) Taylor and Brian (Nicole) Pritchard and grandchildren Robin (Rod) Gates, Carla Taylor, Brendan Pritchard and Erica Collet. He was predeceased by his wife Elsie, wife Beth, and siblings Edward, Gordon, Margaret-Ann, Ivy, Ruth, June and Rosemary.

Marty grew up in Copper Cliff, ON and worked at INCO in his younger years before joining the Canadian Armed Forces, where he served from March 1954 – April 1968. In his later years, Marty worked in maintenance at Spruce Woods Provincial Park and spent many hours taking care of Millennium Park in Cypress River. Marty was a member of the Cypress River Legion and the Lions Club, and he volunteered his time with Friends of Spruce Woods. Marty enjoyed many new adventures with Elsie – fishing, golfing, and trips to Arizona for the winter. He also enjoyed feeding his birds, attending craft sales with their creations, shuffleboard and woodworking. Most weeks weren’t complete without a trip to L&J’s Drive Inn.
