It has been ten years since that horrific Tuesday. I did not find out until later that Marty was one of the ones who lost his life that day. I grew up in East Walpole and first attended Old Post Road School as a 4th grader. Marty was the first person who I remember as a friend....I think and pray for him every September 11th. I hope to visit Ground Zero in the future and will look for his name at the fountains. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family today...

Marty was my first cousin, his mom and mine are sisters and although I did not grow up with him, we certainly knew each other. The last time I saw him was in Florida while vacationing with the families together. My understanding is he grew to be a very good man, loved life, and his family. My mother keeps a picture of him beside her bed and speaks about him fondly. I hope he rests in peace.

I grew up a few houses away from Marty, across from the Old Post Road elementary school. Although I didn't know Marty very well, I do remember him. I was heartbroken when I heard that Marty died so tragically. I run in Bird Park several times a week and always stop at the tree planted in his memory. On 9/11/10 I visited this tree once again and offered up my prayers to him and his family. Rest in peace, Marty.

Marty saved my life on 9/11/2001.

Marty was a diligent, hard-working colleague at Bear, Stearns and he had hired me to work for him at Cantor Fitzgerald.

Marty called me on my daughter's birthday, August 28th, by asking me to delay the start of my contract to work on the 105th Floor.

God Bless Marty and his family, now and forever.

Sincerely:

John McCabe

Marty was my friend. He was the older brother of my best friend, Mary. We would look forward to his visits home to Walpole, Massachusetts—the very worldly New York businessman, at first somewhat intimidating, to me, the ordinary small-town girl. But Marty was just like us: He showed up dressed in sweats, nice comfy clothes, ready to hang out, tell stories, make us laugh, listen to music, and just be Marty. He was my partner at Mary's wedding. I was so proud to be paired with him for the processional down the aisle and for pictures and dances. We ate "chicken surprise" at the rehearsal dinner, and he sat next to me the entire night. I couldn't have been in a better place! When I listen to AC/DC Hell's Bells, I am with Marty in the rented Lincoln Continental racing down I-95. Marty loved music and had quite the extensive collection of albums. He had a passion for many things—one of which was his sister Mary. I used to get so jealous when he would buy her nice clothes, jewelry—she even got a fur coat from him one year. He was a very generous person, in many ways, and very genuine. A real guy with a heart of gold and contagious laughter. Marty would have been 52 yesterday (September 2nd). I wonder what he would be like today: Would he be fat or skinny (his weight fluctuated)? Would he be working at Cantor Fitzgerald? Would he still be in NYC? Or would he have moved on to someplace else? The big question though is: Would he have any hair? The guys that had the thick curlyish hair tend to go bald in their 40's or 50's. I know one thing though, he would still be making us laugh, and he'd still be going to the Kowloon for Chinese food with Kenny and Marybeth because "New York Chinese food sucks"!

My husband and I recently visited the Tribute Center for the victims of 9-11. In the gift shop I purchased a memorial bracelet for a victim of 9-11. My bracelet is in memory of Everett Martin Proctor. I wear his bracelet every day and pray for his family and friends and all the others who lost their lives on that day. I know nothing about this individual, other than his name—and now his age, from the information obtained from this website. To his family, "Marty" now lives on in my prayers and in my day-to-day activities. I am extremely proud and blessed to keep "Marty" ever present to me and my friends and family as one of the many brave people who make me realize just how precious life is, and how it can be snuffed out without any warning at all. To Marty's family, he will live on with me.

Share your feelings and memories of grief and sadness concerning the 9-11-2001 attack, or of positive memories.  If you knew this person, help us to build a small 'bio' of the person and share with us something about his/her life:

  • what kind of person he/she was, 
  • what nice points you remember about him/her, 
  • what kind of relationship you had with him/her, 
  • what you two perhaps did together, 
  • what he/she meant to you, 
  • or other things about him/her might be especially encouraging for other people.

This web site is intended solely as a means of allowing all of us to express our grief and sympathy in behalf of the people who lost their lives, and also our love and compassion towards those who lost loved ones and friends in the 9/11/01 tragedy. The site is strictly for memorial mentions of those who passed away in the tragedy, not of other people who have passed away.

Our hearts are very touched with concern in behalf of those people, and it is to them that we dedicate this web site. It is not our intent to venture into the realms of WHO should face judgement, to take responsibility for those terrible events, because we have no way of knowing for sure who all might fall into that category. Therefore, any letters or notes written passing judgment upon any person or group will not be published on this site. We do NOT want this site to be a base for expressions of hatred, but only for expressions of LOVE!

9-11Heroes.us is a personal effort, not a business, nor is the site dedicated to any specific person or persons. We will not post negative comments. Moreover, 9-11Heroes.us reserves the right to choose which comments to post and also to edit the comments for spelling, punctuation, grammar, or edit comments that are unkind or offensive in some manner. We are maintaining this site with our own money and time. We try to keep the advertisements to a minimum and we try to make them as unobtrusive as possible. The revenue goes back to maintaining this site.
