This past August we lost a family member after a long illness. Vladie (Val) Martin passed away on the 20th of August, 2009. We were blessed with seeing Val every so many years when he and Ginny would go on vacation with us or visit Topeka Kansas withVirginia and the family. Val was born Februry 23, 1923 in Glengamock, Scotland. He grew up and was educated in Scotland before coming to the United States.
And when he talked he had a brogue that was wonderful.
Val was an employee of Chrysler Motor Company in Detroit and was probably the reason my family has always, or at least the last 20 years, has always bought new Dodge or Chrysler auto’s or PU’s. Val was able to get us deals. Even now our son Matt is a Finance Manager for a large Chrysler dealer here in Tulsa.
Val and Ginny raised four childen, John (Jack), Ken, Jim and Mary Ann.
