Son of the late Pierre and Laura Martin. Carmel and Pauline called West Hartford home since 1975 and he became a friend to many within the community. Carmel was a communicant of St. Mark Evangelist Church and always greeted parishioners with a warm and kind smile. He was also a proud 3rd and 4thdegree member of the Knights of Columbus who participated in many of their activities over the years. Carmel served in the U.S. Army and in Korea.
He retired as a machinist at Pep Tool after 30 years. Even after retiring, Carmel continued to keep busy with landscaping and caring for his neighbor’s driveways all season long. In his free time Carmel enjoyed bowling, playing cards with friends, watching hockey and listening to his music on the porch swing. Anyone who knew Carmel would say he was hard-working, kind, sweet natured and loved by many.

Carmel will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
