Betsy and family, I am so terribly sorry to learn of Marty’s passing. May his memory be a blessing.
Marty was generous giver without asking anything in return. His help was invaluable to start a course at URI focusing the business side of genocide. He tirelessly helped me to contact people and organizations that helped me to Bering this course to life.
In a way, he was a key to bring the reality of genocide to may students and their understanding on how business aspect of genocide plays one of the key elements on creating or stopping it.
He help shines anytime that I teach this course. A long lasting memory helping humanity. Thank you, Marty.
So sorry for your loss,deepest sympathies. Lee,Kathy and Lindsey
