Our Pappy got his wings. Lupe Martin of Port Lavaca peacefully passed away at the age of 84 on March 30, 2020 surrounded by his family. He was born March 25, 1936 in Bloomington, Texas to the late Asuncion and Apolonia Martin. Lupe retired from Alcoa in 1998 after working 25 years. He enjoyed fishing, collecting knives, belt buckles, watching western TV shows and of course the Cowboys, Spurs and Longhorn games. Most of all he loved taking his grandchildren on road trips and making so many memories. Known to so many as Pappy, he so enjoyed watching his grandsons play basketball and granddaughters dance in drill team. He was always ready to strike a conversation wherever he was. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him. He is survived by his daughter Margarita (Samuel) Hernandez of Port Lavaca; granddaughters Theresa (Jason) Furstenberg, Alisa (Joseph) Garcia, Sarah Hernandez; grandsons Samuel (Ashley) Hernandez and Michael (Ricci) Hernandez; precious great-grandchildren Jaylen Hernandez, Dylan Hernandez, Lori Garcia and Judah Furstenberg.

A special thanks to Dr. Joseph Jenkins, New Century Hospice, Medical Memorial Hospital Staff and especially all the staff at Bethany living Center for all special care and kindness they showed my dad and family.
