  1. Marty I will miss you forever, I will miss our long talks about you and your amazing wife Carol, and your beautiful family, your time in the service, our talks about God, and life in general. Thank you for your time spent with me. I told you that you reminded me of my dad and uncle’s, you do, and that’s why it hurts so bad. I love you.
    My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Marty Oiler

  2. I am so shocked and deeply saddened with the amount of tragedy this family has faced. As a Colliers native, I know the whole family. When to school with Mel and Michelle, and knew Marty quite well. My prayers go out to the family and those who knew him most. God Bless
