I well remember Marty as a colleague as we moved from Montreal to London in the early 60's. We shared a vision of change to the established order - and together helped to bring about a revolution in the method of introduction of new telecom products. Later, when I returned to London, I found Marty as steadfast as ever, leading a marketing group. Marty was innovtive, dedicated, loyal and vibrant. I am sorry to hear of his passing. May his survivors find peace and consolation !
