Schaumburg Rd., Schaumburg, Il. at 10:00 am on Saturday, January 30th. A private prayer service will be held at the funeral home prior to Mass. Interment All Saints Cemetery with military honors. Marty was born July 7, 1935 - the son of the late John and Margaret, nee Fegan. He died peacefully in his home on January 22nd surrounded by his loving wife of fifty nine years, Jeanne, nee Cassidy, and their three children, Marty (Jennifer), Peggy, and Patrick (Martine). The birth and death of this great man, however, is not nearly as relevant as all the days that he lived to the fullest between those two dates. Marty was an example of grace, a positive role-model and trusted mentor to anyone who asked him for guidance. He was the cherished grandfather of Maggie (Joey), Mollie, Branden, Kelli, Joe, Katie, Ellie and Drew. Beloved brother of Tommy, Kay, Margaret, Eileen, Mary and the late Jack, Billy, and Jimmy. Cherished brother-in-law, fond uncle, kind friend, and a blessing to many. In lieu of flowers donations to the "Danny Did Foundation" (www.dannydid.org) would be appreciated. Due to the ongoing COVID19 pandemic, the family asks that everyone remains diligent, patient and respectful in their social distancing as it is their hope and desire that everyone remains safe when paying their respects either at the funeral home or at church.
