The world is a very different place without Roley Martin. He leaves us with his most contagious laugh, the absolute goodness of his heart, his spirit of adventure, and his deep and abiding love of family and friends. We cheer him on and know that he has one of the best seats in Fenway Park, ever hopeful, as his team takes the field.
In addition to his wife and mother, Roley is survived by a son, Spencer Roley Martin of Hanover; a step-son, Andrew Farnsworth of South Yarmouth; a step-daughter, Laura Farnsworth of Berkeley, CA; two sisters, Caroline Martin of Eastham and O’Hara Martin of Clarksville, VA; former brother in-law, Everett Eldredge of Harwich and several nieces and nephews.
