Please mark your calendars for Sunday, November 10, 2024 and join us in celebrating Martin for a life well-lived in service to his beloved family and community, including that of the Arlene Francis Center. Details for the Celebration are still being finalized and will be published as we get closer to the November 10 date.

Martin was born in Saint Louis, Missouri on November 29, 1949. The 9th of 12 children born to Louis Ashton and Margaret Prendergast Hamilton, Martin was deeply loved and respected by his close, larger than life and raucous family. Those who knew Martin understood what an extraordinary son, brother, father, grandfather, friend and human being that he was. While our hearts are broken by his loss, his many contributions to the world and his memories give us all comfort. Martin is survived by his sons, Brenden, Trever and Dillon, and grandchildren Dinea, Naliyah and Sage, as well as his siblings Alan, Bill, Marc, Stephanie, Jim, Louis, and an army of nieces, nephews and friends.
