Martin had a full and colourful life. Born in London but raised in his beloved Devon he was the only
son of the Rev Alfred and his wife Rosa Langley: he had a sister, Ruby, five years his junior.
Martin served in both the Merchant and Royal Navy. It was during his training at Lancing College
during the war that he met and married my Mother Ivy. He later went on to become a priest himself
and before retirement spent time as a teacher.
Martin and Ivy had four children all girls. Rose, Rachel, Valerie and myself Brenda.Being a priest
meant the family moved around but we finally settled here in Somerset close to his by this time
ailing parents.
All four Daughters married and settled in the area and in time provided he and Ivy with twelve grand
children and at the latest count they now have twenty two great grand children.
Martin is also a published author, for which he brought together two of his great loves Devon and
the sea.
I wish I could hear all those stories again. I remember you would hold the family rapt with tales of your exploits as a child growing up and the war years. You were I am sure you would agree far from the perfect dad in so many ways. Even so, I love you Dad and I do have forgiveness in my heart. God bless! Toodle Pop!!
