Here are a few words and thoughts about a man who will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him...

Dick Fish: "Condolences to you [Ted] and your family on your loss, He was a good man."

Joshua Martineau: "It was a very moving ceremony."

Mady Davis: "He was greatly loved and is still. He was such an amazing man."

Sharon Clark: "Jim Martineau was a wonderful man. My sympathy and love go out to the family."

Julie Heaps: "I remember him as a very little, quiet man who always seemed to be smiling."

Dee Dee Volluz: "I am so sad; I thought he would be here always... I loved him all through my growing up years & have such good memories of a kind & gentle soul. A strong man with such honor & integrity. He was one of those rare gentlemen that they just don't "make" anymore. We have lost a great one from our sphere. I remember him with love & sweetness, deep friendship & love. I send you heartfelt sympathy...Oh, for the touch of a vanished hand, and the sound of a voice that is still."

"Remembering your dad with much love and deepest respect. Even at a young age I could recognize him as one of the greats...great man of faith, husband, & father. How very blessed you were to be able to call him "dad."

Rian Zeigler: "A most amazing man left us recently.... my heart, prayers and love goes to Grandpa Martineau... He was a strong and gentle patriarch of one the most beautiful families that I feel very blessed to have been a part of for most of my life. Love you Grandpa ♥"

John Martineau: "It was a beautiful ceremony and wonderful memories were shared by his family and friends. I loved my Grandpa very much and will miss him dearly."

Ted Martineau: "He was fully engaged in life right to the end...it always seemed like Dad would live forever :) "
