Description	:	Mart Eichinger was born in Bay City, Michigan to Andrew and Anna Elizabeth (Bauer) Eichinger. He was raised in a large German Lutheran family, and learned the German language before he learned English. Mart spoke prayers and sang songs in German up until his last days.

He was raised in a large German Lutheran family, and learned the German language before he learned English. Mart spoke prayers and sang songs in German up until his last days. He and his many cousins learned about life while staying on the family farm. They were a bit mischievous (he called it being on the rascally side), but managed to stay out of serious trouble by staying relatively quiet indoors. Art and music became his favorite subjects in school. After graduating in 1934, he worked in a floral shop and developed his third significant life passion in nature and gardening which would remain, with the arts, central in his long life. He served in all theaters of World War II as a Navy signalman, helping to transport US forces and equipment around the globe, starting on an old oil tanker. After many ships and many ports of call (and the miracle of not being killed in the war), he returned to Bay City and decided to follow his interest in art. This, and meeting Pauline Bergman at Immanuel Church, were the defining loves of his life. He started working for a small advertising company called Wagnitz Advertising in Midland, and remained there, becoming art director for Church and Guisewite Advertising, and eventually president of AMPM, an advertising agency that still flourishes in Midland. Mart and Polly celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary in September this past year. They had four sons, Marty, Barry, Kelvin and Jeffery, who acquired his interests in aesthetics and nature (and also his occasional rascallyness). He leaves his wife Polly, his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren with our appreciation for his reverence of our family, for his devotion to his Lord, and for his eternal kindness to the world around him. A life well lived will be celebrated at his funeral with family and friends. Service will be held on Sunday, January 8, 2017, at Our Savior Lutheran Church, Midland, MI, at 2:00 p.m., with viewing at 1:00 and light reception afterwards. Donations in Mart’s memory are appreciated to support programs of Wellspring Lutheran Services and Midland Senior Services. The Eichinger Family thanks the many kind friends and neighbors, church and faith communities, and wonderful senior programs and aging services that have been an important part of Mart’s life over the years.
