And lived in Glastonbury, CT for 39 years before moving to Florida in 2018. 'Scooter', as he was known to family and friends, was an outgoing and larger than life individual. He befriended many who knew they could always count on him for help. Scooter enjoyed playing golf and following sports, especially his New England Patriots. He was an enthusiastic fisherman and was very proud of the large bass he recently caught in Florida's Caloosahatchee River. In the past several years he developed a passion for grilling and smoking meats. His family and friends enjoyed many delicious meals prepared by him. Scooter loved his family. While in CT he was a boisterous and well-known fan of his four CT nephews at their hockey, lacrosse, soccer, baseball and football games. He was predeceased by his parents, Bob and Peggy Martin of Saranac Lake, NY and his father-in-law Oscar W. Hoffman, Bowling Green, OH and Labelle, FL.
