Chris Martin’s wife.....

[studio1087]

She died. Cancer.

My opinion. Best guitar company ever on earth. I went to the factory with a great dealer and bought my D 28 in the lobby. Beautiful people. I lost my dad to cancer. Cancer sucks. I feel terrible for Mr. Martin.

I’m actually crying.

Damn.

So sad. I am sorry and yes cancer sucks!

Sad. I met him in the early 80s and we discussed various guitars, his, my Epiphone Texan etc.
He got me to try a Koa Martin and it was great.
I feel saddened or a very polite man or anyone who loses a loved one to cancer. I know.

Diane, who was a district judge from Lower Saucon Township and Hellertown before joining Martin, married Chris Martin IV on May 19, 1990, after he appeared in her courtroom for a traffic violation.

It is sad news for the Martin family. And John, I too lost my father to cancer, back in 1989 (he was just 57).

I had a nice talk/job interview with Chris back around 1994. Nothing came of it but it was fun meeting one of the guitar biz's greats and a really nice guy, to boot. I lost my Mom to cancer when she was just 52.

My heart is a little bit broken for Chris and his daughter. Rest in Peace, Diane.
