After the Army Martin spent time in Kansas before returning to his home state of Texas. Over the years he held many occupations ranging from gas station attendant to meat inspector with various other trades and skills picked up along the way. He always kept busy and took great pride in any work he was performing.

A hard worker, Martin also enjoyed his free time, keeping home and yard and enjoying the outdoors. An avid fisherman, he loved to go camping and spent many summers by the lake appreciating the splendor of nature. When home, walking was a past time, and when he could, travel was something he enjoyed.
