He was always willing and able and made sure that his customer's were well taken care of. We know that Horn's employees and customers will miss him dearly. Marty was known for making beef jerky for many people, sharing his fishing knowledge and expertise. Marty had planned on retiring early and opening up his own fishing bait shop. He was already selling them online. He loved that he had fishing buddies that were willing to go wherever to catch the "big one". Marty had many fishing buddies that hauled his boat wherever they were biting! Marty loved to see his fishing buddies faces when they hauled in a fish no matter the size.
