I knew Marty for five years and in that time I came to love him as a brother. He is an exceptional person in his warmth and sincerity that he displayed. I miss him greatly and I only regret that I did not know him longer, although he made me feel like we had been friends forever. My deepest condolences go out to all his family and friends but we all know we are so much better for having known this exceptional man. Love you Marty

Although we knew Marty for only a few years he became a close and dear friend. We will miss the times we shared with him and treasure the memories that will always bring a smile to our faces. We will miss that big grin too.

I have so many memories of Marty, and in each one of them he is wearing an ear to ear grin. Even in this sad time, I smile when I think of him. Marty was always larger than life to me. His enthusiasm and joie de vivre were contagious. There was never a bad time (or a bad meal)when Marty was present. His optimism was an inspiration. He saw the best in every individual and made the best of every situation. It was a pleasure and a privilege to know him.
One of my favorite memories is very early in our friendship, at a charity dinner/dance the four of us attended at the Metropolitan Museum. The orchestra struck up "New York, New York" and we raced to the dance floor, ending up next to Ed Koch dancing with Liza Minelli! Marty's grin that moment as he twirled Laurel around the floor was even broader than usual, if that's possible. I am very sad that there will be no more of those times in his company, but very grateful for the ones I was blessed to have.

We were friends for 41 years.
It was September 1968 at the Control Data Institute located in the New School in the West Village (New York City), that Marty and I first met. Marty saw the future in the power of electronic data processing – EDP – in those days. He was a pioneer, starting with plug board programming, paper tape, and Holerith code card programming in machine language. We became immediate friends and I was introduced to his wife, Laurel, aka Laurie. Marty was liked by all and was destined for sales and marketing with his easy way and gift for gab. Upon graduation in March 1969 Marty started his long and successful career in computer technology. We were both hired by Control Data, maker of the world’s largest computer, The Grey 7700, and off to our careers in two different directions with Control Data. Marty went into sales and marketing, I into technical. We worked out of the Gold Building on the 14th floor at Lex and 52nd. Every day we went to lunch together, Marty had a coke, hamburger, and French fries. He was always cheerful and never made negative comments about his co-workers and bosses. He drove a Ford Mustang, with a seat pushed back more than was capable to allow his large frame inside this small vehicle. He drove it into the ground. Laurel got pregnant with Brian – nicknamed 86, since at birth he weighed 8lbs and 6 oz. – Marty and Laurel’s pride and joy. The family lived in a co-op in Queens near his family. What a deal, with lots of politics about ownership and the co-op association’s demands, the Rund’s moved to New Jersey. With continued success in sales, the Rund’s continued to build their family with the addition of Matthew and made job moves to better his future and options. Then, off to California for a stint in the West Coast offense – a dream come true for Marty. Ironically, I had just moved from Danville, California, to Palm Springs then to Ocala, Florida, when Marty moved to Danville. Then a few years later, Marty, et al, moved to Bradenton, Florida. We followed similar paths in the Information Age and both retired in Florida not 100 miles apart.
Marty was a golfer, husband, father, grandfather, uncle, son, cousin, and my friend.

David & Sara Fleisig posted a condolence
This is a letter we sent to Marty a few days before he died....
===============
Dear Marty,
After consulting with archeologists we have determined that we first met you after you made Laurel an honest woman. (I and someone whose name I’ve forgotten moved to California in 1964, and you and Laurel got married in 1967.) David can’t recall when he first met you, but the impression you left never changed….larger than life! (That is not a comment on your weight!) Here you are in Asheville in 2004. Probably waiting to interrupt one of the Fleisigs with some zinger. (Although interrupting Fleisigs has never been known to be easy, here you look ready to strike. On the other hand, maybe you were overwhelmed by the wisdom being spouted. On the other, other hand, that’s really unlikely.)
We remember many visits to your Coop apartments--memorable for quiet academic discussions of philosophy. (Perhaps my memory fails me a little here.) We went to see your new house in East Brunswick before you moved in. Of course the part of that stuck in our brain is following this car towards your place which was going so slow David gave the driver the finger (fortunately only inside the car.) Unfortunately that driver headed to your house too, and turned out to be Uncle Lenny. Oh well…. What a wonderful house that was, apart from the horrendous commute that came with it. That reminds us of your last Thanksgiving party there before you moved to California. That was memorable for you giving poor Paul apoplexy by saying teachers didn’t work hard. David also thinks it memorable because the day after TG “the men†went to the local diner for breakfast (you, Leo, Paul, Harmon and David). Why memorable? Because that was the only time David ever heard your dad get to say more than 3 words---and he was great fun to hear!
Besides the philosophy, we remember the really excellent hosting at the family events. (Including professional meat slicing.) You kept things going like it was the easiest thing in the world. We were so pleased to be in the terrific warm-hearted atmosphere you created.
We really got to know you better when you and Laurel came to live in California. We were invited to your “new digs†about a day after you got here. Of course, everything looked perfect! (You must have had hundreds of boxes hidden somewhere!) Then you bought a beautiful house and, if we remember correctly, had us over for New Years also a day after you moved in. Everything was of course perfect, except I’m not sure you allowed the red wine to breathe long enough.
Here you are again in Asheville in 2004, celebrating Paul and Joan’s new kitchen.
Back to California…..we enjoyed many meals together at various places. But then we all went to Tahoe for a weekend and we took you and Laurel to Echo Lake as a surprise. There you boarded a luxurious outboard to the opposite end of the lake, one of the world’s most beautiful spots, and we all started hiking back. The hailstorm on the way back was hardly noticeable…trust me.
Then you and Laurel had to pick up and move to Florida. Florida!?! They don’t know enough to avoid mistakenly voting for Pat Buchanan or how to count ballots! It’s flat, ugly and has mosquitoes that eat birds. Cages attached to houses—what are they??? Cages, with the wildlife on the outside and the people on the inside??? We were mystified that you abandoned us, but hoped it was nothing we said, or, even worse that we had failed to let the red wine breathe again.
We have a lifetime of good memories and will never forget you. On a more serious note, we’ll never forget the courage you’ve shown at a time like this. We promise to keep a place set for you at family get-togethers.
With much love,
David & Sara
Addendum: Okay Marty, enough with reminiscences about you and your good deeds in this world. Let’s think ahead to the possibilities when you are on the other side.
We picture you being a great influence on others, including watching over Laurel and steering your grandchildren (and other relatives’ children) to good decisions in life. This is not so far-fetched when you realize we already have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and even TV remote controls.
Well, you can see where this is leading: When you are not busy up there, would you send down a hint about which lotto numbers to play?
Love again,
David & Sara Fleisig

I just have a few words to say about Marty….and I promise to be brief.
Marty knew how to make those around him feel good. Even in these last months when he was so uncomfortable, never did a conversation go by without him asking in detail about Linda & me, our children, their spouses, and our grandchildren. Even when he was going through so much in his own life…he showed interest in you.
Now you know that Laurel has four wonderful brothers, and I’m not one of them...I’m their cousin. While talking to Marty just last week, when he was so very uncomfortable, but knowing how much it would please me, Marty said; “Ya know Harmon, As far as I’m concerned, you’re one of the Fleisig boys!” And even though the “Fleisig Boys” sounds like a gang that robs trains, it really made me feel good…just as Marty had intended.
Marty also looked at the truth in the face and said it right out. Some years ago Linda & I lived in what I called a charming little cottage. It was tranquil & offered quiet solitude. Linda often referred to as a hovel. After all, it was tiny, it was cold in the winter, and the roof did leak…but I loved it.
Anyway….Marty & Laurel came to visit. We all know Marty’s expansiveness & ebullience. He said it like it was, and after looking around…which didn’t take much time…Marty turned to Linda and said with dramatic emphasis: “Linda. You must love him a whole lot to agree to live like this!!” And he was right…and she does.
We sent Marty an e-mail last week remembering funny things, but we ended it on a serious note. I’d like to read that part of it again…To you…To him…For him…
Marty…Linda and I are so proud, and impacted by the way you have carried yourself through this unbelievably difficult time.
Someone said that people are not judged by what they say, or what they think, or what they believe….
People are judged by what they DO…How they behave…How they handle life’s difficulties.
And Marty, what you’ve done is to show your sons, your family, and everyone around you…how a courageous man…an admirable man…a real man…conducts himself in THE most difficult of situations.
Linda & I understand what it’s like for you & Laurel as well. We see how this horrendous assault that was visited…was visited on you both, and how together you both fought the good fight. And how lucky you are to have Laurel by your side.
Oh…And one more thing…..
Just know that we love you and admire you,

Marty and I were friends for 55 years.We met in 1954 at the co-op in Woodhaven and were friends ever since...
He was one of the older guys ..for a while....then we caught up.Out of all of the "older" guys, he was always the nicest...never making me feel different..
Since both of were competitive and stubborn,eac time we would get together years later, it was always about: who was fatter, grayer and balder..Somewhere along the line, it was tie..or at least the competition was over in those areas...We then moved on to Gin Rummy...And I could beat him senseless, frustrating him...On our last visit in January..he was quite weak and quite determined ..he said it would be last tournament and without my giving him any leeway at all, he played me to a virtual draw...and was damm proud of it...AND so was I!!
Due to geography, we only got to see each about once a year (the past few years a little more)..but some friendships do not require you to to physically together. I could always cout on his laughter, his telling me exactly what he thought and being an incredible friend. My wide Randy and I loved being with Laurel and Marty and will miss him terribly.

Marie and I were introduced to Marty at a holiday party during the Winter of 2002. He was the neighbor next door to the house we were building. After moving into our house, we became Saturday morning golfing buddies, and occasional dinner and card playing companions with he and Laurel. It was during those times that Marty shared with us his love of life and love of golf. We now find ourselves reminiscing about those happier times, and we consider those memories to be Marty's gift to us and will treasure them always.
Fondly, Tom and Marie

I want to say I consider myself lucky to have had his influence in my life. He was a person so full of life he still fills the air with his presence. He was funny, opinionated, generous, demanding, loyal, smart, honest, direct, and tactful (on occasion) and overflowing with this huge spirit that just made you smile. He was my friend, mentor and a shoulder to lean on when you needed to kevtch. I love him and always will. Barbara

My dad was a very special person who I loved, admired, and respected both as a friend and a father. He had great passion for everything that he did from food to loving my mom. In seeing all the emails from friends and family, it is great to know the positive impact that he has made on so many lives. He will be missed but he will be remembered forever in my heart and mind. I love you dad.

Laurel Rund posted a condolence
The loss of a loved one throws every aspect of our lives out of balance. The closer we were to the person who died, the more havoc the loss creates. Love does not die quickly. Hence to grieve is also "to celebrate the depth of the union. Tears are then the jewels of remembrance, sad but glistening with the beauty of the past. So grief in its bitterness marks the end . . . but it also is praise to the one who is gone."
