It’s a very sad day when we lose someone like Marty. Marty was responsible for St Pascal School winning over $130,000 in our recycling contests. Without his hard work we would never had been able to take First Place. He never received a fitting award here on earth but I am sure his reward was waiting for him in Heaven. And I hope they have some donuts and Burger King breakfast sandwiches waiting for him. He worked so hard for the school but when we should’ve been treating him, he was the one bringing snacks to the staff. Thank you, Marty for your example, dedication. You brought us so much joy. Thank you, Kathie for sharing him with us. Joanne Powrozek

Rest in Peace Marty. I remember many good times with you and Kathie. Playing cards. You taught us Up Town over 50 years ago. It is still one of my favorite card games. Wishing your family prayers.

Marty,My Bowling partner and mentor during the many years I was so fortunate to share your friendship. He had the gift for always making those around feel better. He made us all walk lighter as a result of his personality. My Sympathy and sincere wishes to all the Warta’ Family.. Rest in Peace my Friend .
