It was always Aunt Mart and Uncle Don. I loved them both so much. They always called me and made me feel loved and always an important part of the family. Aunt Mart was usually the one making the call to me but Uncle Don ALWAYS took the phone and talked to me directly. Not just give me a message. They BOTH ALWAYS MADE ME FEEL AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE FAMILY. Wonderful lovely people. I'm proud They were part of my family.

Working for Don at Norton Lilly International in NJ was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I learned so much from him and truly enjoyed his company. We became good friends over the years since then with both Don and Martha and will always remember them both with admiration and joy.

Less, Brad and family. My heart is so sad for you all. Anyone who knows your family knows how highly you held your dad as the patriarch of your family. His wisdom, guidance and love was apparent in every story told about your parents. They were lucky to have you as their child/grandchildren/son in law. I always adored the times I would get to see him in person or chat on the phone. He was a great man and this is a tremendous loss. If there is anything that we can do for any of you, please let us know. Much love to you all.
