Seth is a relative of my late uncles family. I got to meet him a few times. He was a confident man, to say the least, but he was still incredibly nice. You couldn't talk hockey with him though. "If I couldn't make it, what makes you think you can?" He was also pretty ruthless when it came to Christmas auctions.
That came off a little negative. Here is a positive story. Mr. Martin would go for coffee with "The Boys" once a week or so at the place my wife worked. Everyday he came in, he would flirt with my wife. On days I was there he would tell me I was a lucky, lucky man and if he were 20 years younger he would steal her out from under my nose. He said he might even be able to do it now.
Thinking back on it, with how in love with hockey I was, I think he might have been trying to cushion the blow of not making it to the show. Apparently he chose his firefighters pension over an NHL career.
RIP Seth.
