Thank you to Marty for helping with something after my dad passed away. I was in your office in Elmhurst for a while with my mom maybe in 2004. Amazingly years later he let me drive his Jeep one evening to try to get signatures for him to run for some NYC political office. Maybe Brendan O'Shea & some other nice relative was with me, probably one of Marty's kids. It was freezing that night & people were so nice to answer the door for a stranger. I think I got two signatures for Marty so he was nice not to yell at me. I was away on a sightseeing trip to Chicago when Maureen called & told me the sad news about Marty's passing. I will pay my respects in Calvary soon which is just four miles from my home. Rocky, son of the late Betty O'Shea of NYC

From a St. Mary's classmate. Happy our paths crossed back then and again just a few years ago. My condolences to family and friends. And to Marty, my gratitude for your friendship. Wind in your sails.

I’ll always remember Marty as my older cousin who took me under his wing my first two years at Notre Dame. He was smart, funny, and opinionated. We shared many good times together. He also was an athlete... playing rugby on an intramural team.

Marty was a great friend at St. John's Law. Though we lost touch after that, we eventually hooked up on Facebook and he was the same pal he always was. We recently agreed to go fishing sometime. Sad to know that won't be happening.
God's speed Marty

Martin was a good friend at St. John's Law School and for the decades since then. The summer we were taking a prep course at NYU for our bar exam (a stressful time), I remember Martin's cheerfulness making it all bearable. A car full of us would commute to Greenwich Village from Queens for the course, and we would sometime stop at cafe in those pre-Starbuck's days do discuss the law. Then at the end of the course, Marty took us to Coney Island for the night where I had my first and last ride on the Cyclone.
Then in the following years in law practice, I remember Martin being generous with his time If I were to call with an estate question.
Then, I have fond memories of the O'Shea Christmas sing-alongs at Rockefeller Center and the pub party afterwards. It was a lot of effort and expense for Martin to set up those events, but it spoke of the generosity of his spirit,
As time went on and Martin retired, we would speak less and less often, but it was always a bright spot in my day when we would got on the phone and chat.
I will miss Martin deeply.

A good friend since our days at Xavier, we spent many nights studying law together often at his Father’s office. Marty will be greatly missed.

I was a year behind Marty at Xavier and have many happy memories of him. When I think of him, I think of the words School Spirit. He was always positive and always seemed to be smiling -- and moving -- through the hallways and up the stairs. I saw him a few times over the years at Beefsteak dinners at Xavier and was always glad to catch up with him. Of all the thousands of moments and hallway encounters you have in your high school career, I always have one Friday afternoon conversation with Marty about the next day's football game in mind I was asked to announce the game. I can still see him standing in the doorway to the stairs in the new building after class in his uniform and recall that conversation as clearly as if it happened yesterday. It was one of a million moments like it. But, it was a special moment because it was a moment when he helped me out with that smile, that quick size up of a situation and a solution to a problem that was about solving it, not about his ego.
When you are in high school, you always look up to certain people and you are happy when you receive the honor of their friendship. This was the way I felt about Marty in high school and that was the way I always felt about him. Honored to be his friend and overjoyed by his acceptance of me and his friendship. Rest in peace, my friend.

Martin was a beloved and generous son, brother and father. He loved people and was always willing to help in any way he could. No matter what, he was always cheerful, although knowing some of the hardships in his own life, it was hard to know if it was genuine or he simply felt it was expected.
As an older sister, my earliest memories of him are of a golden haired happy infant whom my sister and I helped entertain and take for walks in his carriage. He grew into a fun loving youngster and adult who made lots of friends, many of which lasted throughout his life. The family was so proud of him as he graduated from Xavier, Notre Dame and St. John’s Law. He had wanted to go to Notre Dame for years, and, when they hadn’t received the required documents, our father went in to the school and waited until they were sent.
Martin took great delight in his four children. He maintained positive relationships with his two sons, Martin and Michael. He took great joy in his three grandsons, Robert, Martin and Michael. Unfortunately, his heart never healed from the loss of contact with his beloved daughters, Julie and Mary.
He was much loved by his nieces and nephews. He always made time for them and offered advice to all of us, whether personal or legal. He was the godfather to my daughter and Confirmation sponsor to my son. He made it a point to attend birthday, graduation and holiday celebrations. He took them to Mets games, was always interested in hearing about their lives, helping with problems and congratulating successes, and even had them work with him in his law office.
The last few years he suffered multiple difficult health issues. He tried to push through them and had plans to move near the beach, which he loved. We will always wish we could have done more to alleviate his difficulties. We loved you and will miss you, Martin.

Marty was a freshman at Xavier when I married his sister. Watched him grow, graduate from Notre Dame and St. John's Law and have a fruitful career following his father in an Elmhurst law practice. He had his share of problems, particularly with his health in recent years. He's in a better place now.
