Like his father, Aunt Marion and Cousin Mike, Marty loved spending time…and some money...at Monmouth Park Race Track. But more than anything else, he loved his family and friends, and they loved him. They were not alone. Every single person who met Marty instantly bonded with him and considered him a good friend. Marty was the person everyone wanted to see at gatherings. He was the life of the party. Marty Maloney had no enemies, only good friends.
