To all the family members of Marty Futyma. Marty was like a Father to me. When he came to visit us at the golf courses I worked at Metuchen, Colonia, and Lakewood CC he would always make time to sit and talk.I knew him for 35 years, he helped me thru a lot of problems.I will miss him dearly. He always had the solutions for the many problems we faced in our business.I cherished him as a friend,a mentor and just a wonderful man. Rest in peace my friend, God will take care of you now.
