Coach Martin was a strong role model and mentor for me in high school. I had lunch with him often when I visited South Boston. Frank Ridgway and I were in town for our 50th class reunion and had plans to have lunch with him but found out later he had been hospitalized. He definitely was on our minds on the day he passed. My prayers are with his lovely family. Peace be with you. Macon Sizemore
