Marty built a distinguished career
as advisor to developers in the luxury hotel industry.
His early days of hotel management included New
York's Waldorf-Astoria and St. Regis Hotels and
after spending time in the middle east opening palaces
for the late King Hussein of Jordan, Marty traveled
the world opening hotels for ITT Hospitality and
Ian Schrager Hotels. More recently Marty partnered
with Ridgefield resident Stephen Goldstone at the
Boulders Inn on Lake Waramaug.
Marty and his partner G. Blane
Withers intended to open a version of Marty's together
when Mr. O'Brien's life was tragically cut short.
Blane and his good friend Barbara Gold decided to
continue the project in his name and with his inspiration.
Welcome and enjoy!
Marty's Fund
Celebrate the talent and inspiration
of Marty by asking friends, family, neighbors and
customers to help Blane start “Marty’s
Fund” – a memorial fund that will support
complementary therapies and other patient care services
– all free - to cancer patients at the New
Milford Hospital-NewYork Presbyterian Regional Cancer
Center here in our back yard.
Why? Because the care Martin received
at NMH was so meaningful to him and me during the
most difficult days we ever faced, and I want others
to be able to rely on the same exceptional services
that made Marty’s care so different.
All monies collected will be dedicated
to Marty’s Fund at New Milford Hospital Foundation:
If you give just $25 this year, we could proudly
contribute $22,500 to services that will lighten
the struggle of a friend, neighbor or loved one.
You can make your contribution
in one of three ways:
1. In person in the special envelopes
provided at Marty’s.
2. By calling Patricia Hargadon
at New Milford Hospital Foundation at 860-350-7345
to contribute by credit card to “Marty’s
Fund”.
3. By mailing your contribution
payable to New Milford Hospital Foundation/Marty’s
Fund to the address below:
