Martin retired from Sherrard School District, where he had been custodian at the high school for many years. In his spare time, he loved to go fishing and camping with all the Schrock family at Carlyle Lake. Martin was already planning his garden for this year, as he loved to tend his vegetable plants. In earlier years, he and Johanna took the wood items he made to crafts shows all over the region. He enjoyed making tables, shelves, and benches.
