Notes |
- MARTIN, Richard - It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Richard Warren Martin, at his sister Rhoda's home in Mount Forest, on Tuesday, February 17, 2009, one day after his 59th birthday. Beloved son of Alice Martin of Waterloo. Survived by his son, Brad; daughter, Sabrina and her husband Adam and their mother Sandra. Dear brother of Paul and Judy Martin of St. Jacobs, Shirley and Cal Larsen of Coquitlam, Carol Weber of Kitchener, Ella and Laverne Brubacher of St. Jacobs, Ruth and John Brenneman of Waterloo, Rhoda and Klaus Seibert of Mount Forest. Predeceased by his father, Moses Martin (1995) and brother-in-law, Roger Weber (2002). Rich started his career as an auto mechanic at his father's garage in St. Jacobs before joining Home Hardware in 1989. He was a volunteer firefighter in St. Jacobs for 10 years and a huge fan of hockey, especially Junior B where he spent several years as a player scout before winning the Sutherland Cup with the Cambridge Winterhawks in 2000. Rich was inspired by the "Hockeyville" contest and wanted to wish the community of Woolwich the best of luck as they continue their pursuit of the "Hockeyville" title. Everyone will miss his sense of humour and outgoing nature. The family will receive their friends and relatives at the Dreisinger Funeral Home , Elmira on Tuesday, February 24th from 1-4 and 6-9 p.m. A Memorial Service to celebrate Rich's life will be held at St. Jacobs Mennonite Church on Wednesday, February 25th at 2: 30 p.m. At Rich's request, cremation will take place. In Rich's memory, donations to M.E.D.A. or to Woolwich Minor Hockey would be appreciated by the family as expressions of sympathy.
