Martin was born to Martin and Mildred Brennan in Philadelphia in 1940.  The youngest of nine children, Martin lived in South Philadelphia until he met his wife of 59 years, Rosemary.  Together they started their life in Washington Township, there they raised 8 children.

Martin worked as printer for over 40 years- he had an incredible work ethic and passion for his trade.

He loved Philadelphia sports teams, the Mummers Strut, the casino, golfing, and a glass of Paisano.  Spending time with his beloved wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren was his greatest joy.

Family was incredibly important to Martin.  Affectionally known as “Pop” to so many, he was kind, generous, and funny.  He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
