elevated 1EBQM Martin was a hard-working, generous person, carrying two jobs for many years.

elevated 1EBQM Martin’s interests included nature, horticulture, hockey, soccer, and snow-birding in Florida. He enjoyed old-time western movies and a glass of red wine with dinner. He strove to keep his mind sharp with sudoku puzzles and reading encyclopedias.
