Heller Bomberger, his loving wife, with whom he shared 73 years of marriage before her death in 2016.

 

He is survived by two daughters, Lois, wife of the late David L. Landis, of Manheim, and Linda, wife of J. Marlin Boll, of Lititz; seven grandchildren; 13 great grandchildren; and 11 great, great grandchildren.

 

Martin was a longtime member of Erb Mennonite Church, Lititz where he served as trustee and was on the cemetery board.  He farmed his father’s farm for 25 years.  After moving off the farm, he was employed by Bomberger’s Store, installing flooring.  He enjoyed vegetable and flower gardening, hunting and spending time at Hemlock Haven, their cabin he built in Perry County.
