Marty, it’s been a year since you’ve left this earth. A year without your jokes, your laugh and your love. But the memories will never be gone or forgotten. They live inside of us and we smile every time we think of you and those times. You were truly a special person who brought so much to so many and we love the love you gave my sister. People every day come up to her and tell her things they you have done for them. You’re a very special person and everyone remembers it and they are all showing that love to JoAnn and helping her in so many ways. We know you are still there right by her side watching over her in death as you had done in life. She dreams of you often and it brings her peace. We know you will always be there for her, watching over her and keeping her safe. The two of you had something so special and always will.  We had a beautiful mass and celebration of your life today. We will celebrate you always ❤️ love you and miss you. 

Still can't believe you're not here anymore.  You are missed today , tomorrow and forever my friend. Today is the day you were taken from  those that loved you and heaven gained an angel. I can only hope that you are at peace and know how many of us miss you and keep you in our hearts....

A Special Husband 

My Eyes Are Filled With Tears Again 
As I Stand Here Where U Lay
I Think Of U Every Second
But Miss U Every Day
My Body Is Full Of Sadness
That You Are No Longer Here
Pain Is Only Soothed
By The Memories I Hold So Dear
My Tired Heart Is Broken
And Dosen't Beat The Same
And It Breaks A Little More
Every Time I Hear Your Name
My Dreams Are Of The Future 
When I No Longer Feel This Pain
I'll Follow U Up To Heaven
And We Will Meet Again ❤️

You will be forever in my heart.  You are not only my husband you are my best friend.  I love you forever there’s not a moment that goes by that I don’t think of you. Thank you for always being my light ❤️

It's been one month since you’ve been gone, but not one day goes by without thinking of you. Love you forever ~ JoJo ❤️

Marty. I will never forget your hospitality upon our arrival to Keyport last May. My life is fuller and better because I met you. In the short time that I knew you you showed nothing but selflessness, love and compassion. It breaks my heart to write these words. I will miss you my friend. Thank you for knocking my socks off with your amazing sauce. Until we meet again.  my deepest condolences to the entire family I wish I would’ve known when it happened didn’t get to say goodbye. Love you Matty

Im trying to keep my composure and write in a way so that whoever reads this will understand what an incredible person Marty was. He was one of the most amazing men I knew. Many times I worked with him on jobs and he was always ready to teach and or help anyone if needed. The man was an extremely talented Operating Engineer and that is how our friendship began on a jobsite. You see he was my Union brother. From day one he went out of his way for not only me but anyone that he worked with or didn't work with. I seen him help homeless people and not think twice about it. Thats the kind of guy he was. He was always a friend to me and its a huge loss to anyone that knew him. I am devastated only hearing of his passing today. Its pretty upsetting not knowing of his wake and service as I would have been there to show my respect to a man that helped me especially during some difficult times in my life. You will be missed my friend. The world has lost a great man and heaven has gained an angel. Rest in Peace Marty, sending prayers to you, and strength and my condolences to your Family especially your Wife, Mom and your children.  Rest easy my friend, Love , and I will definitely miss you and I promise to never let your memory fade ..... 💔

I will always miss your phone call and calling me blackie. This year won’t be the same especially the holidays. I love you dad 

Marty , you will forever be close to my heart. Time spent with you was the happiest I was. You gained your Angel wings soar high . Will always love , miss you and think of you. Tonight I said see you later not goodbye. My thoughts and prayers 🙏to your family . 💔❤️🤍

Marty was a great neighbor and all around good person.  My first time meeting him i was struggling to load my motorcycle into a u- haul trailer.  Marty saw this and came over he told me to return that junk and borrow his for the weekend.  He didnt even know me next thing i knew i was hitching up his trailer for the weekend.  Just a really nice guy.  My thoughts, prayers and love go out to his family.

I am shocked and devastated that Marty “Matty” -  as some in our neighborhood growing up called him.  We go back many years as we lived in same neighborhood, hung out same crowd  and went to same HS, I attended his wedding.  He was a good guy , as teens he was a bit of a wise guy  &  funny about it.  One Halloween he dressed as a woman (borrowed LuLu’s clothing) and looked great, I just came across the photo the other night.  He was a good sport always looking for good fun.  I always enjoyed hanging out with him, we would  have some great talks. There  are too many memories and not enough room. My deepest condolences to his family and friends, he was part of my life history and I  will always smile when I think of him, through tears he was taken much too soon.  Rest In Peace Marty- our neighborhood Superstar love ya

We are all so sad at the thought of never seeing Marty again. He was a super star in our house. His kindness was endless. The way he treated our special needs daughter was like no other. He got her and she got him. He bought Sami a big Minnie Mouse (because whatever she mentioned that she liked or wanted he would get for her) and it got ruined to the point of us having to throw it away. When Marty heard about that he left work in the city and went straight to the store and bought her another one. He drove about 30 minutes to our home and put it in the tree out front and called her to say someone was waiting for her outside. The delight on her face and his face at seeing her was the greatest expression of love.  He had the biggest heart and he will be truly missed.  ❤️🙏

Marty you were truly one of a kind with a heart as big as this earth. Thank you for all the laughs and for taking care of my sister, loving her and keeping her happy, safe and secure. We will never forget you ❤️  Love Pete, Lori, Michael and PJ 

To the entire Locke family my deepest sympathies. Marty was a great  man who will be missed beyond words . May you rest in sweetest peace 💔💔💔.  Never forgotten. With love  Stephanie Archer
