REMEMBERING DR. JOHN MARTIN: Dr. John Martin has been in his orthodontic practice for over 47 years and has blessed and changed the lives of over 70,000 people. His zest for life was over the top and the magic that he had in his energy was contagious. when you were his patient, you felt as if you were the only one in the room. He would compliment everyone and he truly meant what he said. He was a loyal and loving husband to Anne Martin, and the generosity that came with every aspect of his life was incredible. He started his practice in a small town in iroquois county that everyone said would not work, his words were "if I build it, they will come" and Oh they did!! He was also so funny and loved to play practical jokes on people to make them feel comfortable. I know in my heart that he has a special place in heaven because he was everything to everyone. His strong faith in the Lord got him through so many things. He battled pancreatic cancer for 30 years of his life and was a walking miracle. Nothing got in his way because his purpose in life was to spread the love in his heart to all. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date. Sincerely, Anne Martin
