I only recently found out Marty had passed. We were best friends in High School. I got my first motorcycle a Suzuki 100 because of him. Marty and I rode every during those times. After High School we both work together in Electrical Construction and as Electrician at the Radford Arsenal. When we were in High School we would take weekend camping trips to Hinton along the Greenbrier River. Those were some great times. My first time going to a movie was with Marty in 1974 to see Magnum Force with Clint Eastwood. We hung together a lot during the 80's we married into the same family. I remember a lot of great Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners together. Marty was a big Washington Redskins fan and I was a Dallas Cowboy Fan. I had lost track of Mary after 1989. I always wanted to reach and to reconnect with Marty. Seems I was just a little to late. Rest easy Marty. I will see you again one day and laugh about those Cowboy and Skins games. Prayers for your family. I so enjoyed us riding our Bikes together. Ride on brother!

Prayer's go out to the family. So sorry for our loss. Marty was also survived by a brother Richard Thomas Dawson of Wilmington,nc and preceded in death of youngest brother John Daniel Dawson

Marty was a great older brother the first 11 years of my life!
