Great reading about Marty. It was actually “Mr. Pavelich” to me. I lived down the street in Detroit in the 50″s and 60’s and mowed lawns to earn a few dollars in high school. He always had me cross cut his lawn so it was groomed like a putting green. He was always kind and when i went off to college i worked the mid-night shift a few summers at his plastics factory. Working that shift helped motivate me to graduate :). Anyway it was good to read and get caught up on him and be reminded of his kindness.

When I was around 20 (1990 ish) my friend and I had the chance to ski with Marty at Boyne mountain in Michigan. He was an awesome skier. We thoroughly enjoyed having the opportunity to get to know him. He was an incredibly humble person considering all of his accomplishments. He hasn’t changed much in 30 years!

Marty and Ted worked for me as Sales Reps after we bought L&P from them in the 1980’s until he retired and moved to Montana. Marty was a class act, a true professional with always a good word to say, no matter what was going on. I’m glad to see that he still skis, it gives me something to shoot for! Ted was tough as nails on the outside and a kind and generous soul on the inside, I spent many Wings games sitting next to him getting and getting lessons you could never get watching YouTube. They don’t make many like Ted and Marty anymore and I miss them both.

Marty worked for me as ourSsales Rep after we bought L&P Plastics from him and Ted in the 1980’s. Everything you see and he said are true. Marty was always the ultimate professional and always a gentleman with good things to say about everyone and Ted was tough as nails on the outside, but a kind and generous man on the inside. I miss them both. Glad to hear Marty is still skiing, gives me something to shoot for!

In reply to Burnie Thorp. I love the monogramming on his car - he didn’t mention that! What a treasure your uncle must be to you. Certainly an inspiring man. I’m so glad you discovered this article, and I thank you for reaching out.

I am very proud to say that Marty is my uncle. He’s been an inspiration to our whole family with his optimism, hard work and success.
I definitely remember that Pontiac especially because the centre of the back seat was monogrammed – MPN – P for Pavelich, M for Marty and N for Nicholas. As a kid I was mighty impressed.
I didn’t know about the cup holder in the Chrysler mini van. I’m impressed all over again.
My son found this article as he prepares his annual Stanley Cup lecture for his Anatomy and Physiology students at Gonzaga. Needless to say, Uncle Marty features prominently.
