Marty passed away at home on December 20, 2020 after fighting a courageous battle with ALS. He was born in Bay Shore, New York on April 26, 1940 to Ernest and Magarite Almberg.

Marty has been married to his wife Carol for almost 60 years and they’ve been retired for over 20. He was in the USAF in the early 60’s, worked for Grumman in Long Island for a bit, volunteered for the Islip Fire Department, and joined the Suffolk County Police Department in the 70’s. He ultimately settled into the Marine Bureau where he was captain for about 20 years. He was a boater his entire life, built race cars as a teen, raced stock outboard hydroplanes for a number of years and participated in the Suffolk County Police Explorers. He loved his hobbies, especially in retirement. He put old outboard motors (Mercurys) together, restored antique wooden boats, worked on his model trains, golfed regularly and cruised regularly with his wife. More than anything else, he loved his family. He is survived by his wife of 59 years Carol, Butch and Rita, Win and Tara and 4 grandsons Connor, Laif, Logan and Lahrs.
