He earned a Bachelor’s degree in college, was in ROTC and worked for BNSF Railway since 1992. Martin married Ellen Chetelat, his lovely wife of 30 years, whom he met after he whistled at her and she didn’t acknowledge him. He soon learned she was hearing impaired and it motivated him to learn sign language. As a single man, he was willing to do anything to make her his, take all 3 kids under his wing and have 3 more and that shows what kind of man he really was. He loved all his children and grandbabies and was always happy to see them anytime. He also enjoyed coaching sports, poker, golf, Star Trek, NCIS, country music and classic rock, classic westerns, especially John Wayne., riding his Harley Davidson and arm wrestling. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Heather, whom he called “my little pumpkin”.
