Martin entered the US Army Reserves and was honorably discharged in March, 1970.  Among his many occupations was selling cosmetics, where he flew to many states to teach salesmanship.  He later began industrial construction in the northeast Texas region and finally retired from the Highway Department.

He was an avid hunter with dogs, ending with hog hunting, which brought many friendships, allowing him to mentor to the younger hunters, especially his grandson Bubba, and all of whom he considered family.

He will be missed.
