We know Martin and Rezi for about 12 years by now. Their hospitality and friendliness brought many people into their loving home and stole many people’s hearts.
Martin was always a true friend, ready to help and joke, share and be involved. Losing him will forever leave a deep hole in our lifes.
God Bless him until we meet again.
With all our love to him and his family.
Kim and Cathy Thompson
We. were so fortunate to live next to Martin and Theresa for a number of years…it was fun to watch Martin work on his various shop projects as Theresa tended the garden…and the cats!
Martin and Kim loved working on boats together and we had some memorable boating outingsi And there was always chores in the woods…Theresa and Martin could put up 10 cords in a week…exceptional workers!
Martin left us in a stunning way….but I’m sure he got an express ticket to heaven! Hopefully we’ll all join him again some day.
Our lives were better because of Martin…he helped all of us.

Liebe Teresa,
Die Nachricht vom Tod hat mich sehr getroffen.
Martin war immer ein hilfsbereiter Mensch, man kann sagen er war ein Menschenfreund.
Wie kannten uns seit 1960, ich war in seiner Heimat.
Lange Jahre arbeitete er unter meiner Leitung und wir wurden Freunde.
Unsere Kinder besuchten die Franke-Schule in Frankfurt am Main.
Liebe Teresa ich bete für seine Seele und schließe Dich und Josef mit ein.
Liebe Grüße auch von Ingeborg.
Unser herzliches Beileid.

Judith and Anthony Greco and Family
Dear Teresa, Joe and Barb,
Our sincere heartfelt sympathy and our deepest condolences on Martin’s tragic passing. Martin was such a brilliant presence in our lives for over 19 years, he was a master millwright/mechanic and solved many complicated Greco projects over the years with skill and humour, Martin was always available when needed and always a pleasure to see. He would race across the street summer or winter on his three wheeler, bare chested with cutoff rubber boots or big ripped working snowsuit always ready to solve and work the problem. He adored his wife and looked forward to the vacations with her, then right back to work. Anthony is heartbroken and will forever miss his dearest friend, many nights he spent in the shop with Martin, every minute he loved being with him, our children are shocked and deeply saddened. Martin has left a void in our lives that cannot be filled.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time!
Jörn & Monika Heber
Dear Teresa

Words cannot describe our feelings at this time. May he rest in peace.
For you Resi we wish you strength during this so very difficult time. Please do not hesitate to call on us .

We are absolutely devastated to hear this terrible news. Martin was a dear friend to us. He was like my father. Since the day we met in the early 80’s, we’ve always been close. He was always there for us. You could have always counted on him. Teresa and Martin were always welcoming us with open arms. He will be dearly missed, and we will keep him in our prayers and thoughts for years to come. Rest in peace Martin.
Sincerely,

I knew Martin but a short time, but in that time I was impressed by his knowledge, compassion and caring for others and above all his ability to joyfully embrace each and every day. Martin truly knew how to live life LARGE. I will not forget him.
Claus, Erma Huberty and the Girls
Martin I am shocked and sad,
we had our differences of opinion on many occasions
but you will always be in our heart and mind
as a kind man, ready to help when ever needed.
You will be right beside me, when I finish, alone, the
project on my tractor that we discussed, I will build it
the way you suggested it.
Thank you my friend and fair well.
Claus and Family.
Rozi and Rudi Mesar
Dear Rezi,
so sorry to lose so prematurely such a dear friend as Martin, always cheerful, full of life and optimism. We are grateful for all the time we had together and really glad that we were together 2 weekends ago. We will always have Martin in our memories and in our hearts… We moved closer again so that we could spend more time visiting together – go fishing, go on trips and so on. With his passing he left such a huge void in our lives and we’ll miss him forever.
Our sincere condolences to you, Joe, Barb and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Rezi, don’t forget to call and lean on us at any time. Warm (((((hugs)))))

Draga Resi, ostali smo zatečeni viješću o Tinekovoj smrti, a tek smo uspostavili kontakt!!!.Pa još smo se koncem jula čuli telefonski.Veoma, veoma nam je žao.Suosjećamo u bolu s Tobom, s Vama.Prenesi, molimo, izraze sućuti Vašoj djeci.
Pamtit ćemo ga po pričama koje je o njemu pričao Mladenov brat Branko koji je bio kod Vas u Kanadi i veselim e-mailovima koje nam je slao još nedavno…
Molimo Boga da Ti da puno snage u ovim teškim danima i da bude dobar njegovoj duši
Vito and Grace Montagnese
From the first day Vito and Martin met they had an instant connection. They helped each other in any way they could.
Many laughs were shared between them (and even some dancing too).
We were overjoyed to have such a great neighbour and already feel the loss.
We’ll remember Martin for his spunky personality, and the kindness he showed to us.
We feel privileged to have known Martin if only for a year.
Our sincere condolences to the Grelic family, may you find peace in knowing how much he was loved.
HATIM H. HAMDANI

Thorsten Rech
Dear Resi,
we just met a few times, when I was visiting Gisela & Jürgen on my vacations, but it was always an honor to be your guest.
I remember Martin as a gentle, happy, nice and warm guy. It was fun, to share a story with him or having to help out with some computer problems.
I was really looking forward to see him again on my next visit.
So I was shocked to hear about his passing, but I am sure to meet him again sometime at another place.
My sincere condolences to you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Greetings from Germany

Dear Rezi
We always had a wonderful time together and Martin was so helpful when the need arose.
We were in Austria, when we heard the bad news.
May Martin rest and live with our creator in peace until we meet again.
Our sincere condolences to you Rezi and the family.
