Appropriate to post this here with all of Marty's help over the years:
With a most saddened heart I am sorry to have to tell you that our
dear friend, Marty Sasaki, passed away, in hospital, last Saturday
morning of sepsis.
Marty's body will be cremated sometime this week. Marty’s long-time
and dearest partner, Joanne Klys (rhymes with “eyes”), is responsible
for all arrangements. She is planning to have a memorial service for
friends and family in Arlington, MA, sometime later. Marty also leaves
his immediate family -- mother, sister, brother-in-law, and nephew --
in California.
Joanne is responsible for dealing with a monumental number of
decisions which have been compounded by Marty’s sudden passing. She
has created this email address through which we can communicate our
condolences: “marty_nirv...@verizon.net”. She is also planning to have
a memorial web site for Marty on line in the next few weeks and will
disseminate that information as soon as the site is up.
Deceased, September 19 – Marty Shigeo Sasaki, 55, of Arlington, after
a brief illness. Son of Kumiko Sasaki of Hawthorne, California and of
the late Kenneth Sasaki; brother to Gwen Brockman of California; uncle
of Clay Brockman and the late Amanda Brockman; and special friend of
Joanne Klys of Arlington. Marty was born in Hawaii, spent his
childhood in California, and lived his adult life in the Boston area.
He was educated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and
followed a career in software engineering. Master Woodworker, Champion
Archer, Musician, Kite Builder, Model Plane Builder, Writer,
Photographer, Fisherman, Amateur Magician, Science Guru. Mentor and
Treasured Friend. Marty pursued the simple things in life and
encouraged all those around him to have fun. He touched so many. And
everything he did was magic.

date. Contact “marty_nirv...@verizon.net ” with comments.
