"Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday."
"Wherever I go whatever I do, memories keep me near to you."
"My memories of you will linger on long after your footprints in the sand are gone."
In memory of the best dad a girl has ever had.

Marty was a man with a heart of gold who's love was infinite and kindness and generosity as deep as the sea.

Marty will always have a special place in my heart. He was one of my first friends when I moved to CA in 1983. Having no family or friends in the area he welcomed me to his. His door was always open and I can't recall a disparaging word ever exiting his mouth. He is a tremendous loss to our community and I'm sure a valuable addition to heaven.

Through good times or bad times, your laugh would put a smile on my face. Know that you are missed by many and loved by more.  Rest in peace my fellow lefty!

You always put a smile on my face wanting to go fishing or playing ball we will slways remrnber you and know you are always in our hearts each day may you rest in prace we will be seeing you one day snd be together once again

Happy 60th Birthday daddy. I'm so blessed to say your grandson will be here anyday now. I am 36 weeks pregnant with your 1st grandson and 2nd grandchild and I pray he has your characteristics and heart of gold. I'm sure he will love baseball and fishing just like you wbich his daddy will teach him along with everything else a boy must learn to become a man. My only wish is that he knew you

It's been 2 years since God called you home. You now have a 6 month old grandson who has your contagious smile and laugh. I see so much of you in him. I love you daddy and tell your grandson about you everyday.

Happy 61st Birthday daddy. I miss you and think about you everyday. Your grandson Marky is almost 1! His birthday is a month after yours, July 26th. He has your smile, ears, and humorous, mischevious and playful personality. I see a lot of you in him. He loves music and dancing too. I tell him about you everyday. I'm sorry he couldn't meet you but he will know the amazing man you were.

3 years ago today my world changed forever. I lost the best dad in the universe and it doesn't get any easier. I'm so lucky to have had such amazing memories with you daddy. I wish you were here to meet your grandson and see how Bella has grown. But I know you're with us in our hearts. Sometimes I feel your presence and feel immediate warmth and comfort. You were trully an extraordinary man with a huge heart of gold, a larger then life sense of humor, and had a joyous, positive outlook on life. You lived your life to the fullest and fear was never in your vocabulary. I love you daddy, today, yesterday, and forever more.

RIP Martin Leon Holsten 6.28.57- 3.5.16.
