He was a member of the United Methodist Church of Bemidji. His civic commitments were legendary. He was a devoted member of the Bemidji Rotary noon club for over 60 years, serving as president in 1958 and also editor of the club newsletter, often having perfect attendance. He was a member of the American Legion Post No. 14 and the VFW post No. 1260 both of Bemidji, was on the Bemidji Development Board and the First Federal Bank Board for many years. He was a past member of Bemidji Jaycees, was editor of their newsletter and was elected the Young Man of the Year in 1953. He was Scoutmaster of the Boy Scout Troop No. 23. He did this all with a smile and genuine warmth.
Martin took great interest in local history and had a vast knowledge of past events, especially his Big Bass Lake memories. He also enjoyed stamp collecting and gardening.
Martin is survived by his wife, Dorothy Sathre, of Bemidji; two sons, Jerry (Darla) Sathre, of Baxter, Minn., Michael (Coralie) Sathre, of Plano, Texas; a daughter, Kaye (Phil) Horton, of Goldwaite, Texas; three grandchildren, Daniel (Mandy) Sathre, Charles Horton and Sarah Horton; two great-grandsons, Alexander Flynn and Nicholas Sathre.
