Martin, your beautiful nature touched the hearts of so many people who had the honour of knowing you. I had the privilege of knowing you for many years. Just one of the memories I recall was a day trip we planned to Blackpool. We saw Blackpool Tower from a distance as we boarded the tow truck, to take us home, following a mechanical breakdown. You nicknamed your car Blue Thunder and I rememberd saying are you sure it wasn't hit by lightning before you bought it. We spent many happy years in the dojo practicing the art of karate, as we trained from white to black belts. You were equally gratious in triumph and defeat in tournaments and despite getting cracked ribs on one occasion, still found time to make everyone laugh. We shared many meals over which we put the world to right. Martin I love you as a Brother and a piece of my heart is broken as I have lost someone who is far more than special in my life. You may have left this earth but will forever be in our hearts. If St Peter needs any help with security at Heaven's gateway I am sure you will be there, complete with shiny shoes and Kurt at your side. May God bless you and may you rest in peace until we meet again my amazing friendxx.

Martin Adams my adorable friend I can't believe your time on earth has come to an end You were a true gent so funny and kind Always made me laugh Always knew what was on my mind We would sit and laugh we would sit and cry And I will miss you until the day i die You loved a soppy poem and a soppy rhyme So I hope you like this one as it took a long time! Martin Adams my adorable friend Now that you're gone My heart will never mend Love always China

Martin- (Adder) , you have left a hole in my life brother, you should never have gone before me. You are at peace now and pain is over. You were the most honest and trust-worthy person I have ever met, you gave 100% to everything you did. The friends who have known you for many years and think so highly of you gives testament to this. You had a great sense of humour, and whats more, could laugh at yourself. The story of you chauffering VIPs with your big boots on and pressed both pedals together going through red traffic lights always make me chuckle every day! You are at peace now, and now you can join our family and Kurt again, see you soon, Love ,Steve your proud brother RIP.
