In Memoriam
We are deeply saddened to announce that Gary D. Martz, co-founder of the law firm of Martz & Gailey LLP, died unexpectedly at his home in the early hours of Monday morning, May 19, 2008.
Gary, 52, was the loving, caring husband of Holly Martz, to whom he was married for 12 years following a long and committed relationship. He was also a devoted father to his daughter, Alaina,
Gary was born in Allentown, PA on May 2, 1956, and is the son of Joanna Martz and the late Dennis Martz.
In 1981, Gary began practicing law in York County, after graduating from Dickinson School of Law. At the time of his death, Gary was a partner in the firm of Martz & Gailey LLP. He was a skilled trial attorney who thoroughly enjoyed his work and had a stellar reputation, especially in the practice of workers’ compensation. He was devoted to his practice and his clients, many of whom he considered friends.
He was also active for many years in the Dover Area Soccer Association, as a coach of his daughter’s team, the Ladybugs, whose players and families remained a large part of his life and near to his heart.
He enjoyed music, tennis, billiards, and animals, rescuing many stray dogs and cats who shared his home over the years. Gary was known for his tireless work effort, his boundless energy, enthusiasm and love of life. He will be sadly missed by his friends and family.
In addition to his wife and daughter, Gary is survived by his mother, Joanna Martz, of Allentown, an uncle and several aunts and cousins in the Allentown area, in-laws and nieces and nephews in the Dover area, as well as many friends.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that you honor Gary's devotion to animals by making a contribution of the York SPCA or a charity of your choice.
