Martin Marty Margolis

Obituary

Martin "Marty" Margolis, 92, beloved husband and best friend of Suzanne nee Roy, for 45 wonderful years; loving father of Tracy, Jody, Cary (Laura), Matthew (Christina) and Michael (Kelsey Monkiewicz); cherished Papa of Isabel, Luke and Madelyn; devoted son of the late Rose and Irving; dear brother of the late Millie Dick; treasured brother-in-law, uncle, cousin and friend of many.


A warm and engaging person who naturally drew others to him, Marty created a legacy of extended family and friends who treasured him. Regardless of who you were, Marty "saw" you and welcomed you for however long you were there, minutes or years.


In addition to a successful career in real estate, Marty loved coaching his children's baseball and soccer teams. He enjoyed playing tennis and racquetball and took up skiing at midlife. He was also a proud member of the Running Hearts Club.


Marty was a loyal Bears and Cubs fan going back to the days when both played at Wrigley Field. He carefully planned family vacations and camping trips, including many to national parks.


Marty brought joy, laughter, and warmth to everyone he met. He will be dearly missed and his memory is a blessing.
