sorry i couldn't be there to bury my friend of 52 years. I remember the first time I met ivey and talked him out of shooting a big buck because the season wasn't open.some hunters killed him about three weeks later.I often told ivey I was sorry and he would say I don't know why I listened to you I'm sorry too he was a 10pt 17inside a130 class buck. we grew old together listening to tom t hall quoting him often when the occasion arose . we fished hunted and shared anniversary's Taught him how to hunt turkeys. They say when a man grows up he learns to listen closely to Old T and to hunt turkeys. As a boy growing up I was told the measure of man was you can ride the river with him and so it was with my friend Ivey Martin
There are too many memories to share. He shaped my childhood. I still can’t believe that he’s gone. He was everyone’s go to person. I will never forget him and am so thankful for all that he did for my parents throughout the years. He was a good man!
