faulknerwn 38 #1 December 20, 2009 Marty was my grandfather's sister's son - whatever the hell relation that makes him to me. He was found dead at his computer this week. He jumped quite a bit in the 1980's in North Carolina - I suspect at Carolina Sky Sports if they were around back then. His family lived in Henderson, and I remember going out one day to watch him jump when I was 12 (1982) but he was weathered out. It was funny - I remember all the "adults" around me whining cuz he lived in a trailer and survived on fried okra and beer. Even at 12 that sounded like a good life to me I didn't see what the problem was! He broke his leg sometime in the 80's and stopped jumping but I know he always still cared about skydiving because he always liked hearing my stories.. His services will be this week if anyone remembers him and would like to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TVWriter 0 #3 December 21, 2009 According to Ancestry.com, that would make him your first cousin, once removed. Sorry to hear the bad news. But, if he was a writer, dying at one's computer is the blessed way to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
