He was born in East Bend, NC to Dr. Richard Earl Martin and Ruth Ewing Martin on February 8, 1924. He graduated from East Bend School, then served in the United States Navy during World War II. Following the service, he attended Wake Forest College and graduated in 1950. He then worked in various managerial purchasing capacities in units of the Bell System (Western Electric, Bell Labs, and Lucent) until retirement in 1984. Denny was preceded in death by his parents, by his older brother, Richard E. Martin, Jr., and by his fraternal twin brother, Kedric E. Martin. Mr. Martin was a life-long Methodist, and supported the work of East Bend United Methodist Church throughout his life, despite living for many years in far-away places because of his work. He was also a life-long bachelor who loved his parents fiercely, and maintained close communications with them throughout their lives. He was devoted to his two brothers and their extended families, always pledging to help anyone in the family who might have a need. Following his retirement, Denny moved back into the family home in East Bend, renovated it to his taste, and enjoyed the quiet comforts of rural living in his home town. He loved to play golf, take brisk walks, admire the birds circling the gourds on his property, and watch the traffic go by from his porch. He loved good conversation and a fine glass of wine, as well as a good joke. He loved to read, and devoured everything from classic poetry, to the Wall Street Journal, to automotive magazines. Anyone who knew Denny would say he was a good person and a kind and generous soul. Mr. Martin is survived by his niece Susan M. Barber, of Boone, NC, and her husband Art; nephew Keith M. Martin, of Charlotte, NC, and his wife Beth; grand-niece Jamie B. Durham, of Boone, NC, and her husband Wayne, and three great-grand-nieces, Katie Ruth Durham, Mattie Susan Durham, and Caroline Frances Durham; and grand-nephew Brandon A. Barber, of Charleston, SC, his wife Stacie, and great-grand-niece Haven Marley Barber. A memorial service will be held at East Bend United Methodist Church in East Bend, NC, on Thursday, January 30, 2014, at 2 o'clock pm. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the funeral service at Huff Funeral Home, next door to the church. Interment with Military honors by VFW Post 10346 will be at the cemetery of East Bend Baptist Church.
