Marty was the son of the late Reverend Floyd Marshall Kenyon and the late Elizabeth Rodgers Heckert. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School of Business and then proudly served in the United States Navy out of Key West, Fl.
With his love of the sea, he remained an avid boater and fisherman throughout his life. Marty was a dedicated officer of several yacht clubs including the acclaimed Deep Sea Club in Montauk, N.Y., and the Manalapan Yacht Club in Florida.
He routinely cruised the waters of Long Island Sound, Florida, and the Bahamas. After his first two sons were born in Key West, he and his wife, Mary Richards Kenyon (Lynn) who predeceased him, raised their family in the Wilson Point section of Norwalk.
