Msgt. Robert Martin, Usaf (Ret.)

May 7, 1933 — August 16, 2020

At the age of 87, Robert Martin passed away at his residence in Centerville, Georgia, on Sunday, August 16, 2020.

The son of the late Herbert William and Antoinette Jean Delnero Martin, Robert was born in Wilmington, Delaware.

He proudly served his country in the United States Air Force for several years, retiring as a Master Sergeant. Post retirement, Robert worked for International Business Machines (IBM) and remained there after the company was bought out by Eastman Kodak until his second and final retirement as a Field Engineer. He then enjoyed substitute teaching at Northside High School and served for many years as the Sunday School Secretary for Green Acres Baptist Church in Warner Robins.

It was Robert’s passion to travel; he enjoyed traveling all over the United States in his R.V. and has gone on 34 different cruises in his lifetime. His greatest joy of all was spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

In addition to his parents, Robert was preceded in death by his brother, Herbert W. Martin, Jr.

His memory will forever be treasured by his loving wife, Pauline Martin; step-daughter, Paula Dougherty (Greg) of Macon; grandchildren, Hunter Prim (Eryn) of Macon and Jessica Webster (Christian) of Atlanta; two great-grandchildren; brother, Richard Martin (Peggy) of Wilmington, Delaware; and several loving nieces and nephews.
