Martin
Big heart, big love
- my husband.
You were my inspiration,
you gave me everything and
picked me up when I was low.
A true husband and best friend.
I cannot even begin to imagine
life without my true love but
know you would not want the
children and I to be unhappy but
to embrace and hold strong
your memory and take
inspiration moving forward with
our lives and do what
makes us happy.
Your children are a true likeness
to you and I promise to love
and protect them and know
without doubt they will make you
proud, even prouder than you
were already of them.
I hold your strength and love of
life with me and will be
strong for you.
Love you always
and forever, Helen
POYNTER
Martin
Daddy,
you made us laugh,

You were funny and we know how
proud you were of
everything we did and achieved.
We will always remember your
kind heart and make you proud of
everything we do as we will be
doing it for you.
You were an inspiration to us and
your love and memories will go
on living in our hearts and memories forever.
Love and miss you
so much already.

Martin William
April 2, 1965-February 25, 2015
This was never in our plans.
Loving memories of a
special Son.
To lose someone so special
is really hard to bear
it hardly seems believable
that you’re no longer there
You left us far too early
before your time, it seems
and now you’ll never have
the chance
to fulfil all those dreams
However hard it is though
we’ll take comfort in
the thought
of all the memories we have
and the happiness you brought
You always lived life to the full
but ours won’t be the same
until the day when we can see
your smiling face again
Mart,
love and miss you.

Pinhead to his friends...
The Isle of Wight
Fire & Rescue Service
has lost one of its finest.
A truly remarkable friend and
colleague to so many for over
28 years service to the
Isle of Wight.
The big man with a big heart
and an even bigger smile.
Ask not, how did he die,
but how did he live?
Not, what did he gain,
but what did he give?
These are the units to measure
the worth
Of a man as a man,
regardless of birth.
Not, what was his church,
nor what was his creed?
But had he befriended those
really in need?
Was he ever ready,
with a word of good cheer?
To bring back a smile,
to banish a tear?
Not what did he sketch in a
newspaper say,
But how many were sorry
when he passed away?
Our thoughts and prayers are
with Helen, Grace, Toby,
Harry, Max and
Pauline, Roger and Claire.
With deepest sympathy.
All Officers, firefighters and
staff of the Isle of Wight
Fire and Rescue Service

No matter how long we never

when we did it only seemed

We shared so many memories
that will never leave us.
Your great friends,
