I have so many memories and so much to say about my brother Tony. We, I’m sure it was Tony that invented our imaginary friend. He was a pillow and his name was “ Baby Horsey. We had a baby language that we did, even up to 2024 we had our BH moments. It was a great invention because anywhere we went in the universe; we could play and have our little friend with us . No extra cost and easy to find.. We even made up a song for our little friend. 
He was always to the point. No beating around the bush. However that fun side of him was always waiting to to do a prank .. April Fools day I would be ready for him and he would still get me!! He always visited me and our family in Hawaii, Suffolk England , NJ and Virginia. wherever the Air Force took us he was there!!! 
He was extremely gifted . From a small lad he loved astronomy. He signed up to be a member of  The NASA Club; and had autographed pictures from many of the famous astronauts. 
He would always test me on the stars, planets and  galaxies. Our  dad was proud of a book he had in his bookcase. Dad said to me, with his head held up high and his shoulders back .. “ Did you see this book of stars ?” He then began to explain that Tony spotted an unidentified star. NASA checked it out and,  indeed it was there amongst billions of other stars, galaxies and planets but it had no name. So Tony named it Edward Martin. My dad had his star “ Edward Martin” highlighted in yellow. In his book case. He was always proud of Tony.. We both enjoyed dads daul with onions dad cooked for us on weekly basis . Daul became one of Tony’s favorite dishes , and we always took pictures of our homemade daul with onions on top of Basmati rice. 
Tony was always telling mum “ You have to stop eating animals mum and become a vegetarian” Every year she would say your right Tone… she called him. I will one of these days” 
There’s many more stories I’ll let you all tell your stories about Tony. I love you dearly Tony Martin.. I guess I’ll try and car

In our life we are lucky to have individuals who leave lasting impressions good or bad.  When I was a kid  Tony was a hero of mine. To me it was like being related to Bruce Lee, like my own personal action star. My brother and I were a glutton for punishment as we would come up with attack plans to hit him from different angles, needless to say we never won, I can still hear him say,” oh yeah!” as we suffered counterattacks and leg sweeps. Uncle Tony also was very generous, I still remember being gifted my very first console system with games, it was such a huge deal to me as a kid. He was quick to call you foolish if he didn’t agree, I still get a chuckle out of that. One of the most touching things was when he flew all the way from San Francisco to NJ to attend my wedding. That was just the kind of guy he was always there for family. I know he wasn’t perfect but he was genuine. I know he would appreciate this quote as a Trekkie you all knew that he was.  “Death is that state in which one only exists in the memory of others; which is why it is not an end. No goodbyes, just good memories. “ Your family will always love you Uncle Tony go be one with the force.

My nephew Tony, such a loss.
A kinder soul is hard to find. I have only the fondest of memories of you Tony and aways with a smile.
You loved to trick your grandma whilst living in the uk, she will be looking after you now and smiling with you too.
Always in my thoughts. Rest in peace.

Dear Lord. Thank you for Tony and what he meant to all of us. We will miss his warm smile, his gentle personality and his sense of humour. 

He was very talented, entertaining family members with adventure stories and humorous videos which he created and composed himself. 

You will remain in our Hearts Tony
Love Auntie Paulette 🙏🏽😘xxxxx
