He was employed by the U.S. Post Office, Wayne for many years before retiring in 1995. Mr. Martes was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran of the Vietnam War.

Donations in his memory may be made to the American Cancer Society, N.J. Division Inc., Bergen County Unit, 20 Mercer Street, Hackensack, N.J. I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one. I'd like to leave an AFTERGLOW of smiles when life is done. I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun; of happy memories that I leave when life is done. Today, Tomorrow and Always.
