All I'm thinking about is all the fun we had at RISAA 10 years ago when Pt. Jude, Tattoo, Van Staal (Craig), & Habs all had booths in the same Isle It was like a Block party,

When I would talk to Joe he would always ask where I was going to be fishing and send me a care package with tips on how to fish what he sent.

Jeff I am so sorry for your loss

Janette and I are both shocked and saddened. Our condolences to you Jeff and the rest of the family.
Godspeed Joe, join John and the Crafty One in the endless tight lines to the Blues that you loved.

What a sad message to get from Eben when he let me know. Joe was one of the good ones, and will be missed! Condolences to Jeff and the rest of the Martins clan

I am saddened beyond words.... Thoughts and prayers.

While searching for Joe's service information, I discovered the family lost his brother, John, also suddenly, at 49 in 2008. Wishing the family much strength through trying times.....

Probably the nicest and kindest soul ever had a pleasure of calling a friend. What a shock and loss for the fishing community and his family
Rest in Peace ……you will be missed by many
Condolences to the family and friends

He truly cared about others and it made him special. You could feel it whenever you talked to him.

Such a loss. Joe was always so generous, especially to the next generation. My son has a stash of hats and tins from every visit to RISSA, etc...

Can't be true. So sad. Was honored to fish with Joe on several occassions in Newport and we talked routinely. Kindest man I knew. Always went out of his way to drop off tins for my son Luke and never took money from me. Jeff, my sincere condolences to you and the entire Martin family. Im sorry for your loss.
