This is the life story of Eddie Martin, written at age 88 as he recalls both his physical and spiritual journey, his observations and lessons learned. Eddie makes the statement that his was an ordinary life and therefore, just the story of an ordinary man. But in fact, his story is one of an extraordinary man, a story that would be impactful to anyone who reads it today. This is the story of a man who lived a life of incredible perserverance, resourcefulness and dedication to provide for his family in difficult times and who demonstrated humility in times of prosperity. A man who lived life with gratitude and always brought the gift of music and beauty to others.
Eddie is our Dad. His life has provided a roadmap on how to live a life of integrity and success, how to question, yet live a life of faith and leadership. Thank you Dad for all you have given to us and everyone who your life has touched.
