Read the full obituary.

Beginning in 1982, Marty taught a variety of courses at LLCC in the fields of logic, ethics, philosophy and world religions. He developed and taught an online logic course along with hybrid courses in the ASAP accelerated degree program. He was the published author of the novels “Absence of Goodness” and “Along the River Road.” His nominator for the outstanding adjunct award wrote, “He has rightfully developed a reputation as an excellent instructor willing to serve at any LLCC campus…and to step up to the plate for LLCC in many capacities.”

Our sympathy to Marty’s family, many friends and colleagues.
