Read MoreThis article is dedicated to anyone who has ever lost someone close to them. For me, this article is dedicated to Marty Walker: close family friend and someone I looked up to as a kid. Today I commemorate my friend Marty Walker. He was a father, grandfather, friend, veteran, and so much more. Some of…
