I’ve just heard the news and am devastated to hear of the passing of Martin. He was a kind and gentle soul, and the world is a sadder place for him not being in it. Despite our separation, I still have lots of fond memories and no regrets of our time together. My condolences to Margaret, Seamus, John and all the family. Rest in peace ‘Gluppie’ x

Please accept my sincere condolences and sympathies. I knew Martin very well as part of the group at Middlesex Polytechnic back in the day. Although, as time passed, I saw him less and less, he always came up in stories when any of the old group met up. He will always be remembered and his stories retold into the future!I remember him as a very kind and gentle man who was always entertaining.Such a tragic loss at a young age.Take care,Tom O'Donoghue
