I am so saddened to hear of Mr. Martin's passing. I have fond memories of my high school years in his class. Some teachers make a lasting and unique impression and that was Mr. Martin. My thoughts and prayer go out to all of you in hopes that you find comfort in knowing the lasting impact he made on so many of his student's lives. Rest in blissful peace Mr. Martin. You will be missed.

Mr. Martin was a wonderful and caring teacher. He truly cared about his students. I was one of many. I struggled in his class. He never gave up on me. Thank you. You will be missed!

I was surprised and saddened to learn of Kenny's passing. When I began my teaching career in the late seventies, Kenny was one of the first to welcome me to Cole R 5. Our friendship continued as I was fortunate enough to teach his beautiful daughters. I pray that you be blessed with good memories , family and friends enabling you to get through the weeks and months ahead. May the Lord bless you all.

I was just talking about Ken last week, remembering how great it was to have him as my history professor. I know that it has been long ago, but I still appreciate the hard work and dedication he had for teaching his students. He was always so passionate about his career and whatever he put his mind to. Ken was a very kind and respectable man. I will definately miss him. Sending my love and prayers!

So sorry for your families loss. Mr. Martin as I will always remember him was a fantastic teacher. Civics/American history was one of my favorite classes and his humor with teaching made me appreciate what a great fellow that he was. I often think about his class in particular, with admiration. He touched so many lives, he will be greatly missed. Prayers for your family.

I care very much that all of you, Wife, Children, Grandchildren, Brother and Sister-in-law, Students, Collegues, Long Time Neighbors, Neice/Nephews are saying good-bye to such a fine Man who brought so much to so many. Kenny was about getting things done and doing them well! He was intentional about everything! He loved History and I think he wanted to live in many eras! I'm going to miss him driving up the road in his keep...one that he often let Grandchildren ride in too. I look forward to meeting up on the shores he now graces!
