Allen Manley Martin has sailed on to calmer seas, departing on March
24, 2024. Allen lived a very active life, living in the Burlington
area for 89 years.
Allen launched
his career with his first business, Almartin Motors. His second
business was Point Bay Marina; he owned it for 38 years after
bringing it back from bankruptcy.
Allen met his
wife of 69 years on a blind date. Together they raised three
children, Kathryn, Karin and Peter.
Allen
experienced much joy giving the senior citizens of Charlotte rides on
his boat, the Nancy Ann.
Allen leaves his wife, Nancy;
daughters, Karin Small and Kathryn Martin (deceased); son, Peter
Martin (deceased); grandsons, Matthew Small, Justin Small and Brennan
Martin (deceased); and great-granddaughters, Sadie Small and Mercy
Small.
Smooth
sailing, Poppy – you will be lovingly missed.
Donations can
be made in Allen’s honor to the Charlotte Senior Center.
