Joel H. Martin Jr.

Flo and Family We are both very sorry for your loss. Joel was a good man and will be sorely missed. We think of you often. Godspeed my friend. Lilly and Bino

I grew up alongside Marykay and JH and James (a little too old for John). We first met in Schuylkill Haven, Penn, where they lived in the coolest place with a creek and covered bridge nearby. Later on, in Albuquerque, our families grew close and frequently hung out together. I always thought of Joel as the, "Cool Dad," because he took his family skiing, and introduced me to competing on swim team, though I was nowhere near as good as his kids. As an adult, my wife and I enjoyed a day sailing as passengers on Joel's sailboat, and I included a picture of Joel with my dad in 1987. Next to that, is Joel and Flo with my dad in 2019, when they invited us to lunch. Joel and Flo continued to visit my folks in their senior living apartment, which I appreciate because visitors were few at that time. I'm just so glad to have had him in my life for so very long. He is sorely missed by both my wife and me.

I’ll always remember the wonderful times we shared on our visits with them RIP Joel

To Joel: God dealt you a winning hand in life. We dealt you a few hands in the Badger Den that you won, but you played God’s hand to perfection. We will miss you old friend. From your poker playing buddies at Vista West.

I remember waterski vacations, skeet shooting, and Joel being as proud of me as my own father was when I became a pilot. It feels wrong to label myself as a friend because us Martins were always one huge family. Flo, my heart weeps for you. Marykay I hope to be half the friend to you in your loss that you were to me. God bless all the Martins. Anne Martin Fletcher
