In Memoriam

Larry Martin

Larry Martin married Margaret Summerlin (class of '67) June 1967 and moved to California where he obtained his BA in History from CA State University L.A. He worked first as a District Manager for an Orange County Newspaper but later worked for several aircraft manufacturers after learning how to operate the first computerized machinery (NC operated). They had one son, Jay Martin. Unfortunately, they did divorce when Jay was 7 but remained very close friends; with Larry living just a few blocks from Margaret & Jay until his tragic death in July 1980 in a motorcycle accident.

If Larry were here today, he would want everyone to know how proud he would be of his son Jay! Jay was the "light of his life" and Larry was an outstanding father. The week before he died, Larry & Jay had just returned from a month "driving vacation" across the U.S. camping all the way and both had a wonderful time! And, if Larry knew her, he would also be as proud of his granddaughter, Madelynne (age 12), Jay's daughter! So, I must add a note about her as well!
